Education [ edit ]
Leonard Schiff entered Ohio State University at age 14.[5] L. H. Thomas ) from Ohio State University and his doctorate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1937 under Philip M. Morse with thesis Theory of the Collision of Light Elements .[6]
Schiff was a theoretical physicist who, after completing his doctorate, worked as a research associate for two years at the University of California and the California Institute of Technology . From 1940 to 1945 he was a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania . From 1945 to 1947, he worked at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory and joined the physics faculty at Stanford University in 1947.[7]
In 1948, Schiff became one of the initial directors of Varian Associates who provided technical support to the company, along with Edward Ginzton , William Hansen , and Marvin Chodorow .[8]
In 1959 and 1960 Schiff and fellow physicist George Pugh wrote papers which advocated using orbiting gyroscopes to test general relativity . Schiff teamed with fellow Stanford faculty Bob Cannon and Bill Fairbank to conduct research that provided part of the foundation for the Gravity Probe B (GP-B) to test Albert Einstein 's theory of relativity.[9] [10]
He was the first chairman of the Faculty Senate at Stanford.[11]
Leonard Schiff was the son of Edward and Mathilda Schiff and was of Lithuanian Jewish descent.[5] [12] Edward Ginzton .[5]
Recognition [ edit ]
Schiff became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1939.[13] National Academy of Sciences in 1957.[14] Oersted Medal of the American Association of Physics Teachers .[2] Stanford University .[15]
Schiff Hall, an undergraduate dormitory at Stanford, is named for him.[11]
