George M. Sheldrick

George M. Sheldrick is a notable crystallographer, best known for his contributions to the field of X-ray crystallography. He is particularly recognized for developing the software package SHELX, which is widely used for the determination of crystal structures from X-ray diffraction data. Sheldrick's work has significantly advanced the analysis of complex crystal structures, and his methodologies have been pivotal in the study of solid-state chemistry, materials science, and biochemistry.
