PRO MEMORIA...
A sad news has reached us recently: Professor Ludwik Finkelstein, the nestor of contemporary mesurement science and technology, died in London on the 27th August 2011, aged 81.
He was born on the 6th December 1929 in the town of Lwów (Poland) in a wealthy and educated Jewish family. After the outbreak of the Second World War, he and his mother were deported by the Soviet authorities to Siberia, and his father was imprisoned in a labour camp. On the German attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 they were released and his father, who was an officer of the Reserve of the Polish Army, joined the Polish Army Corps headed by General Władysław Anders, formed in the Soviet Union. In 1942, the Corps was transferred from the Soviet Union to the Middle East where it came under British command.
Professor Ludwik Finkelstein
After the war, Ludwik Finkelstein studied physics in the University of London where he earned a B.Sc. degree in mathematics (1951), a B.Sc. degree in physics (1951), and an M.Sc. degree in Physics (1959). He started his professional career in 1951 as a physicist in the electronic industry. In 1959 he joined the academic staff of City University London, where he went on to receive a D.Sc. degree in Measurement and Instrumentation Science and Technology (1989), to become Professor of Measurement and Instrumentation (1970), Dean of the School of Engineering (1983-1993) and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (1991-1994).
His main research interests were focused on the development of measurement science and technology as a systematic discipline, including relevant aspects of its theory and significant practical applications. He was among the pioneers who treated measurement as an information process and instruments as information machines, applying to their analysis and design the rapidly advancing science of systems and control, and developing a design-orientated approach to instrumentation based on systems engineering. Another important stream of his contributions was related to the logical and philosophical foundations of measurement.
Ludwik Finkelstein served in several learned societies and professional organisations active in the field measurement science and technology, i.a. he was Vice-President of the International Measurement Confederation IMEKO (1994-1997), Member of the IMEKO General Council (1982-2000), Chairman of the IMEKO Technical Committee on Education and Training (1973-1986), and Editor-in-Chief of Measurement - Journal of IMEKO (1982-2000). He received a number of scientific honours; in particular, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (1990), and his name was given to a bursary fund launched at City University London to support students within the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, and to a new laboratory of electrical engineering at that School (2009).
