Otto Redlich

Otto Redlich (November 4, 1896 – August 14, 1978) was an Austrian physical chemist who is best known for his development of equations of state like the Redlich-Kwong equation. Redlich also made numerous other contributions to science. He won the Haitinger Prize of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 1932. After the Anschluss in March 1938, Austria became a part of Nazi Germany, and with the implementation of the Nuremberg Laws all government employed Jews lost their jobs, including academics. Like many other scientists, Redlich tried to leave Nazi-governed Austria.

In 1962 Redlich retired from Shell and received a position at University of California at Berkeley. He died in California in 1978.
