Biography
Gershtein was born in Harbin, China. After graduating from the Department of Nuclear Physics (Faculty of Physics) in Moscow State University, he worked at a school in Kaluga Oblast until 1954. In 1955, he entered the graduate school of the Institute for Physical Problems.
Gershtein was a senior researcher in the Institute for High Energy Physics. He went on to become a professor of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (1963).
Gershtein authored more than two hundred publications and several scientific discoveries.
Gershtein died in Moscow on 20 February 2023, at the age of 93.[https://gpad.ac.ru/памяти-семена-соломоновича-герштейн/ Памяти Семена Соломоновича ГЕРШТЕЙНА (13.07.1929-20.02.2023)] {{in lang|ru}}
