Biography
Hiie Hinrikus was born in the Republic of Estonia in 1934. She received her primary and secondary education in Tallinn, Estonia. Afterwards, she was educated in Physics, with a specialty in Radiophysics, at the Lomonosov Moscow State University. Her diploma work at the Sector of Radio Astronomy of the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was related to the sensitivity of microwave radiometers. She completed her doctoral studies, investigating noise in masers at the USSR National Institute of Physical-Technical and Radio-Technical Measurements in the Moscow Region and received a PhD in Radiophysics.
