About Seweryn Chomet

Lived 1930 – 2009 (aged 79). Seweryn Chomet was a physicist.

Seweryn Chomet (6 May 1930 in Drohobycz, Poland – 24 July 2009 in London, England) was a physicist, author, journalist, historian, publisher, prolific translator of Russian scientific journals into English, and former visiting research fellow of King's College London.

Chomet grew up in Nazi-occupied Ukraine and arrived in London as a stateless refuge. Chomet was a successively a graduate, demonstrator (1956), and lecturer (1963) in the Physics Department of King's College London. He retired in 1987, returning part-time as a visiting lecturer.

Apart from his career in physics he was also a journalist, an author, and a translator of scientific works to and from Russian. In retirement, a chance enquiry into Prince Albert’s correspondence with Charles Wheatstone led him into another career, as an archival researcher and biographer of Victorian royalty. He died on 24 July 2009.
