Mark S. Seidenberg is Vilas Research Professor and Donald O. HebbProfessor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a Senior Scientist at Haskins Laboratories.[1][2] He is a specialist in psycholinguistics, focusing specifically on the cognitive and neurological bases of language and reading. Seidenberg received his Ph.D. from Columbia University under the mentorship of Thomas Bever and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for the Study of Reading at the University of Illinois. He has held academic positions at McGill University,[3] the University of Southern California,[4] and since 2001 at the University of Wisconsin.[5] Seidenberg has published over a hundred scientific articles[6] and is the author of Language at the Speed of Sight (2017).[7] Seidenberg is married to fellow psychologist Maryellen MacDonald and has two children.[8][9]

Abraham Seidenberg
American mathematician (1916–1988)
Abraham Seidenberg (June 2, 1916 – May 3, 1988) was an American mathematician.
Early life
Seidenberg was born on June 2, 1916, to Harry and Fannie Seidenberg in Washington D.C. He graduated with a B.A. from the University of Maryland in 1937. He completed his Ph.D. in mathematics from Johns Hopkins University in 1943. His Ph.D. thesis, written under the direction of Oscar Zariski, was on Valuation Ideals in Rings of Polynomials in Two Variables.
Academic career
Seidenberg became an instructor in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1945. He reached the rank of full professor in 1958. He retired from Berkeley in 1987.
Contributions
Seidenberg was known for his research in commutative algebra, algebraic geometry, differential algebra, and the history of mathematics. He published Prime ideals and integral dependence written jointly with Irvin Cohen, which greatly simplified the existing proofs of the going-up and going-down theorems of ideal theory. He also made impor

I'm Mark Seidenberg, a psychology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I was originally a psycholinguist but you could call me a cognitive scientist or cognitive neuroscientist and I’d be good with it. I grew up in Chicago, and went to a few colleges but only Columbia gave me any degrees, including a Ph.D. I was a professor at McGill University and then at the University of Southern California before returning to the Midwest in 2001. I’ve conducted a lot of research on language and reading. Our lab website is http://lcnl.wisc.edu. My reading research addresses the nature of skilled reading, how children learn to read, and the brain bases of reading and dyslexia, using the tools of modern cognitive neuroscience: behavioral experiments, computational models, and neuroimaging. Recently I've been investigating the causes of chronically low reading among lower income and minority children—so-called “achievement gaps.” My language research focuses on determining what we know when we know a language, how we acquire this knowledge, and how it’s used in comprehendi
