About Dr. phil. Clara Gertrud Leonore Bloch

Felix Bloch met Lore Misch through mutual friends in New York. Lore, a physicist, had done graduate work at Goettingen under the supervision of V. M. Goldschmidt, an eminent geophysicist. In 1935, she received her Ph.D. in the field of crystallography. After leaving Germany in 1936, she served for two years as assistant in physics at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. She came to the United States in 1938 and was appointed research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Felix and Lore were married in March 1940. Twins George Jacob and Daniel Arthur were born the following year. Frank Samuel was born in 1945, and Ruth Hedy in 1949.
