Georg-Maria Schwab
![Schwab, ''ca.'' 1975](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/GMSchwab1.jpg)
Schwab's early academic career in Berlin and Würzburg (1923–1928) was characterised by meticulous experimental work as a kineticist, before starting his specialisation in heterogeneous catalysis in Munich (1928–1938). Dismissed by Nazi Germany on anti-Semitic grounds, he emigrated to Greece with the help of his future wife Elly Schwab-Agallidis, where together, they continued conducting physico-chemical research (1939–1950). Eventually returning to West Germany in the 1950s, Schwab served as professor of physical chemistry in the University of Munich until retirement (1951–1967). Provided by Wikipedia
