Leopold B. Felsen

Leopold B. Felsen[1] (born in Munich in 1924; died in the US September 24, 2005) was a physicist known for studies of Electromagnetism and wave-based disciplines. He had to flee Germany at 16 due to the Nazis.[2] He has fundamental contributions to electromagnetic field analysis.

Academic life

Leopold B. Felsen was a professor at Polytechnic University of New York[3] and at Boston University College of Engineering, an IEEE life fellow and a fellow of both the Acoustical Society of America and the Optical Society of America. He earned bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from what was then the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.[4]

gollark: That... doesn't just produce some nonsense ingame date? Odd.
gollark: ok
