From Wikipedia

Sergei Alexander Schelkunoff (Russian: Сергей Александрович Щелкунов; January 27, 1897 – May 2, 1992), who published as S. A. Schelkunoff, was a distinguished mathematician, electrical engineer, and electromagnetism theorist who made noted contributions to antenna theory.

Schelkunoff was born in Samara, Russia in 1897, attended the University of Moscow before being drafted in 1917. He crossed Siberia into Manchuria and then Japan before settling in Seattle in 1921. There he received bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from the State College of Washington, now Washington State… More on Wikipedia →
