Why Is Nicolas Stoyko Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Nicolas Stoyko or Nikolaï Mikhaïlovitch Stoyko was a Ukrainian-French astronomer, known for his research on the precise measurement of time and the rate of rotation of planet Earth. Biography Stoyko studied at the Imperial Novorossiya University before working from 1914 to 1916 as a volunteer at the Odesa Astronomical Observatory, directed at the time by Aleksandr Yakovlevich Orlov. After graduating with a degree in mathematical sciences in 1916, Stoyko served in the Russian army from 1916 to 1918. He was certified as agrégé de mathématiques in 1920. Because of the chaos caused by the Russian Civil War, Stoyko was unemployed and immigrated to Bulgaria to find work. For three years, he taught at a boys' secondary school in Pleven. However, he had to leave after the 1923 Bulgarian coup d'état and requested asylum in France. On the recommendation of Orlov, who had studied at the Sorbonne, Stoyko was appointed to a position at the Paris Observatory in the Bureau International de l'Heure . He became a naturalized French citizen in 1930 and earned a doctorate from the University of Paris in 1931.
