Richard Klitzing

Dr. Richard Klitzing (born April 24th 1966) is a trained mathematician and trained physicist, even having a PHD in theoretical physics on the theory of quasicrystals. After a short time of teaching in higher degreed schools he abandoned this stuff as a profession, later returning sporadically as an external lecturer at a cooparitive state university on a part-time.

As a spare-time mathematician however he is responsible for the discovery of several scaliform and CRF polytopes. Besides the concept of scaliforms he also invented the segmentotopes, expanded the concept of alternated faceting (aka snubbing) to alternations of higher-than-vertex elements, and within the typewriter-friendly Coxeter-Dynkin diagram notation expansion the introduction of virtual nodes originates to him. He has his own website here.
