      J. C. P. Miller, who with H. S. M. Coxeter and M. S. Longuet-Higgins enumerated the uniform polyhedra in 1954.

          You might like recent Numberphile videos on youtube about noble polyhedra that were figured out by 17 year old. There's an interview with him too where you can see what is the person like.
