Sotir Kuneshka (15 July 1912 – 1991) was an Albanian physicist and academic.

He is remembered as the first to perform physics studies in Albania, the founder of the Natural Sciences Faculty of the University of Tirana (UT), the first physicist to become member of the Academy of Sciences of Albania, and the author of the base academic texts of physics in Albanian.

Kuneshka was born on 15 July 1912 in Boboshticë near Korçë, son of a local schoolteacher.

1924

After finishing the elementary school in his village, he register in the Albanian National Lyceum (known as the French Lyceum) of nearby Korçë in 1924.

Due to financial difficulties, he had to commute back and forth every day, a total of 14 km daily.

This did not affect his passion of studying or his results.

In fact, he stood out among the other students, especially in exact sciences.

Despite the results, the Albanian government of that time did not assign him a scholarship for attending college.

To his luck, the French scholar and slavist André Mazon visited his village for studying the local Slavic dialect spoken by some of the villagers.

He was hosted in Kuneshka's home who actually interpreted for him.

With the intervention of Mazon and the director of the French Lyceum, Kuneshka obtained half scholarship from the French government, and went to study physics in the University of Sorbonne in France.

To fully support his studies, Kuneshka gave private courses on physics to high school students, and lectured on Albanian grammar in the Oriental School of Paris.

Kuneshka graduated in physics in 3 years.

1936

In 1936, he obtained the "License d’enseignement", license for teaching mathematics, physics, general chemistry, and rational mechanics.

The same year, in 1936, he applied for the certification on Applied mechanics and electromagnetism.

1937

In 1937, he was called back by the Minister of Education of Albania, and was appointed director of the French Lyceum.

1940

He kept that position until 1940.

In August 1940, during the Fascist Italy occupation, he had to leave that position because his records shows he hadn't fulfilled the military service.

With the Allied invasion of Italy, his military studies were interrupted.

1944

In early 1944, he went south to Bari, trying to find a way to return to Albania.

Meanwhile, he kept giving private science lessons to support living.

An Albanian military delegation encountered him and brought him back home.

Soon after the end of WWII, the French Lyceum reopened and he was appointed director.

Nevertheless, he did not keep this position for longs since he bigger tasks were assigned to him.

The Ministry of Education put him in charge of the Albanian school system.

Kuneshka served as the first dean of the Natural Sciences Faculty of the University of Tirana (1957–1958), first chairman of the physics catedra of it (1957), and remained part of its academic staff until his retirement in 1982.

Kuneshka was the key person in the process of improving the physics teaching curriculum in the Albanian schools.

1974

He was also the author of the very first textbooks of physics, as Kurs i fizikës së përgjithshme (General physics course) in 1974, Kurs i mekanikës teorike (Theoretical mechanics course) of 1981, etc. He performed studies in the field of natural radioactivity of the waters systems.

As a direct result of his persistent work, the first work group of physicist was established in Albania.

The first scientific article on physics written in Albanian Scientific Bulletin of the University of Tirana bears his name as author.
