Tibor Radó was a Hungarian mathematician who moved to the United States after World War I. Born in Budapest in 1895, he studied civil engineering, served as a lieutenant in the Hungarian Army, was captured on the Russian front and escaped from a Siberian prisoner camp. He received his doctorate in 1923, moved to the United States in 1929 and taught at Ohio State University, chairing its mathematics department from 1948. He proved that surfaces have an essentially unique triangulation, solved the problem of Plateau in 1933, and in 1962 published the busy beaver function and its non-computability.
