Gerhard Schmidt

Gerhard Martin Julius Schmidt (born, 21 August 1919 in Berlin – died July 12, 1971 in Zurich, buried in Rehovot), organic chemist and chemical crystallographer, director of the Weizmann Institute of Science in the late 1950s and again in the late 1960s. Schmidt was the founder of X-ray crystallography at the Weizmann Institute and in Israel – a field in which Weizmann Institute’s Professor Ada Yonath was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2009.

Early years

Professor Gerhard Schmidt was born in Berlin in 1919 and went to high school in Munich, where his father was a professor of chemistry. Being the son of a Jewish mother, Gerhard was forced to leave Germany at the age of 16, after the Nazis came to power; he spent a year in Switzerland, then moved to England, where he finished high school in 1938. He then won a scholarship to study at the University of Oxford (Oriel College). He earned a master's degree in organic chemistry in 1942 under the guidance of Robert Robertson, and a doctorate in X-ray crystallography under Dorothy Hodgkin in 1948. Both of his supervisors were later awarded Nobel Prizes in chemistry.
