At Columbia Sid took courses he described as "inspiring" with Isadore Rabi, and sometimes wondered if he might have been even happier as a theoretical physicist. In 1929 Sid became a member of technical staff at Bell Laboratories, and in 1934 he was transferred to the laboratories' Mathematics Research Center, where his first supervisor was Hendrik W

Colleagues and students often remarked among themselves about how impressed they were with his keen physical insights, sophisticated mathematical talent, and pursuit of definitive results. After Sid retired from Bell Laboratories he became an adjunct professor at the University of New Hampshire, where he received an honorary doctorate in 1982.
