Boris Stoicheff belonged to Herzberg's research group at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa from 1951 to 1964, first as a postdoctoral fellow and then as a staff member. He is renowned for his pioneering contributions to Raman spectroscopy and, later, to non-linear optics. Herzberg himself "appointed" Stoicheff as his biographer in the 1970s.
