Ladislas Goldstein was (February 6, 1906 – July 15, 1994) was professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois (1951–72) and visiting professor of Physics
at the University of Paris-Orsay (1957–58, 1963–64, 1967–68). He was born in Dombrád
, Kingdom of Hungary
.
He received the BS degree from the College of the City of Nagyvarad, the MS degree from the University of Paris
(1928), and a DSc in nuclear physics from the University of Paris
(1937).
His research concentrated on the field of nuclear physics. He was notable for the application of gas-discharge
phenomena in microwave
physics, microwave propagation in free electron media, and infrared
detection.
In 1956 he was elected to Fellow of the IEEE. He won the 1958 MTT prize.
Physics
Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through spacetime, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.Physics is one of the oldest academic...

Gas-discharge lamp
Gas-discharge lamps are a family of artificial light sources that generate light by sending an electrical discharge through an ionized gas, i.e. a plasma. The character of the gas discharge critically depends on the frequency or modulation of the current: see the entry on a frequency classification...
phenomena in microwave
Microwave
Microwaves, a subset of radio waves, have wavelengths ranging from as long as one meter to as short as one millimeter, or equivalently, with frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. This broad definition includes both UHF and EHF , and various sources use different boundaries...
