German-born British mathematician whose research concerned combinatorics and graph theory. He was Jewish and left Germany to escape Nazi persecution. He earned two PhDs: in 1933 from the University of Berlin, and in 1935 from the University of Cambridge. He was interviewed in Berlin by Lord Cherwell for a scholarship given by the chemist Sir Robert Mond which provided financial support to study at Cambridge. After he was awarded the scholarship, Rado and his wife left for the UK in 1933. He was appointed Professor of Mathematics at the University of Reading in 1954 and remained there until he retired in 1971. He died on 23 December 1989 at age 83 in Reading.

Rado Richard was a mathematician known for his work in combinatorics and graph theory. He made significant contributions to the field and is remembered for the Rado's theorem and the Erdős–Rado theorem in Ramsey theory. His work has left a lasting impact on mathematics and continues to be influential.
While Rado Richard passed away in 1989, his legacy continues in the academic world. Recently, several conferences have been held to celebrate his contributions to mathematics, with scholars discussing the ongoing influence of his work in modern research.
Given that Rado Richard was active in the early to mid-20th century, he did not have a social media presence. However, many academic institutions and mathematicians continue to discuss and share his work on platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, often using hashtags like #RadoRichard and #Combinatorics.
In 2023, the Mathematical Society of Berlin organized an event commemorating Rado Richard's contributions to the field. A special session was dedicated to exploring the applications of Rado's theorems in current mathematical research. Additionally, a digital archive was launched to preserve and share his works and related academic papers.
Rado Richard's work continues to inspire mathematicians around the world. His research in graph theory and combinatorics is frequently referenced in academic papers, and his theorems are taught in universities globally. Young researchers often build upon his theories, showcasing the enduring relevance of his contributions.
