Abram Fedorovich Ioffe (Russian: Абра́м Фёдорович Ио́ффе, October 29, 1880 (new style) – October 14, 1960) was a prominent Soviet/Russian physicist born in the Ukraine.
Ioffe's pedagogical efforts resulted in the Soviet school of physics, his students include Aleksandr Aleksandrov, Yakov Dorfman, Pyotr Kapitsa, Isaak Kikoin, Igor Kurchatov, Yakov Frenkel, Nikolay Semyonov, Lev Artsimovich and others.
During the Stalin's campaign against the so-called rootless cosmopolitans, in 1950 Ioffe was fired from his position of the Director of Institute and from the Board of Directors.

 Zhores I. Alferov - Autobiography
I did not know that Academician Ioffe was dismissed and left the Institute of which the director he had been for thirty years.
In 1987, I was elected director of the Ioffe Institute, in 1989, president of the Leningrad Scientific Center of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR; and in April 1990, Vice-President of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
The Physico-Technical Special Secondary School attached to Ioffe's Physico-Technical Institute had been opened at that time; ongoing was the process of creation of specialized University chairs: the first one, that of Optoelectronics was organized in the Electrotechnical University, (formerly the LETI) as far back as in 1973.

 Introduction to Thermoelectrics
As early as 1929 when very little was known about semiconductors, Abram Fedorovich Ioffe (1880-1960) showed that a thermoelectric generator utilising semiconductors could achieve a conversion efficiency of 4%, with further possible improvement in its performance.
By the 1950's, Ioffe and his colleagues [8] had developed the theory of thermoelectric conversion, which forms the basis of all modern thermoelectric theory.
A large number of semiconductor materials were being investigated by the late 1950's and early 1960's, several of which emerged with Z values significantly higher than in metals or metal alloys.

He studied physics at Crimea State University, graduating in 1923, and shipbuilding at the Polytechnical Institute in Petrograd.
In 1943, under Ioffe's recommendation, he was appointed director of the Soviet atomic weapons program.
This project remained a relatively low priority until information from spy Klaus Fuchs and later the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki goaded Stalin into action.

Abram Fedorovich was talking about the waves traveling back and forth along the beam.
It was not easy to follow his presentations, especially because the mathematical side was often sacrificed for the appeals to a physical intuition.
It was even more so with regard to the seminar headed by A.F. Ioffe, which by the lack of intelligence and maturity I treated as a boring corvee.

 Albert Einstein: The Incorrigible Plagiarist
John Stachel's colleague at the Center for Einstein Studies, Boston University, Alberto A. Martinez, has published an article in the April, 2004, issue of Physics World, on page 14, in which he argues that Mileva Maric did not contribute to the Einsteins' 1905 paper on the special theory of relativity.
In his article, Martinez published a translation from Abram Joffe's "In Remembrance of Albert Einstein".
Desanka Trbuhovic-Gjuric, Dord Krstic, Senta Troemel-Ploetz, Evan Harris Walker, Margarete Maurer and I, among others, have accumulated abundant evidence; and Dr. Martinez is free to pretend otherwise, but he will not convince anyone knowledgeable of the facts.
