Hilda Conrady Kingslake

Hilda Conrady Kingslake (born Hilda Gertrude Conrady, February 16, 1902 – February 14, 2003)[1] was a prominent English-American researcher in the field of optics.[2] Her father, A.E. Conrady, and husband, Rudolf Kingslake were also major figures in the research and instruction of optics; in fact both Hilda and Rudolf studied under Conrady at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London.[1]

The Kingslakes moved to Rochester, New York, in 1929 (just after their marriage) when Rudolf was offered a professorship at the University of Rochester.[1] Both continued to live in Rochester until their deaths in February 2003—Hilda on the 14th and Rudolf on the 28th.[1]
