Fyodor Klement
Fyodor Dmitriyevich Klement (or Feodor Klement; 12 June 1903, Saint Petersburg – 28 June 1973, Tartu) was a Soviet and Estonian physicist and academician.[1] Although born to Estonian parents, his native language was Russian. Klement's specialty was luminescence.
From 1951 to 1970, he was the rector of Tartu State University.[1] While there, he worked to return Tartu to its prewar eminence in research, founding a solid-state physics laboratory. Klement was part of a wave of Soviet Jews who came to Tartu from Leningrad, such as semiotician Juri Lotman, seeking greater academic freedom and treatment.
He was a member of the Estonian Academy of Sciences.[1]
