Scientist resolves real intense bit (6,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

albert einstein

'scientist' is the definition.
(Albert Einstein is an example)

'resolves real intense bit' is the wordplay.
'resolves' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'resolving' mean this).
'real'+'intense'+'bit'='realintensebit'
'realintensebit' is an anagram of 'ALBERT EINSTEIN'.

(Other definitions for albert einstein that I've seen before include "a really smart one" , "Scientist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
