Biography:Hermann Theodor Simon
Hermann Theodor Simon (German: ˈziːmɔn; 1 January 1870, in Kirn – 22 December 1918, in Göttingen) was a Germany physicist.[1]
Biography
He studied physics at the Universities of Heidelberg and Berlin, earning his doctorate in 1894 under August Kundt with a thesis on the dispersion of ultraviolet radiation. Afterwards, he served as an assistant to Eilhard Wiedemann at Erlangen, obtaining his habilitation in 1896. Two years later, he became an assistant to Eduard Riecke at the University of Göttingen, then relocated to Frankfurt am Main as director of the physics laboratory. In 1901 he returned to Göttingen as an associate professor and director of the department of applied electricity. In 1907 he was appointed as a full professor at the University of Göttingen.[2]
With Eduard Riecke, he was editor of the physics journal Physikalische Zeitschrift.[3]
