Wladimir Seidel

He earned his Ph.D. from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in München (February 26, 1930) on a dissertation entitled Über die Ränderzuordnung bei konformen Abbildungen, advised by Constantin Carathéodory.^[2]

He joined the faculty of Mathematics at Harvard University (as Benjamin Peirce Instructor, 1932–33),^[3][4] at University of Rochester (1941–55), at The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (1952–53), at University of Notre Dame (1955–63), and at Wayne State University in Detroit (since 1963).

During World War II, he was with the Montreal Theory group for the National Research Council of Canada.^[5]

The Seidel class is named after him.^[6]

He was married to Leah Lappin-Seidel (1904–1999).^[7]
