Robert Schatten graduated from Lwów University in 1933 with a master's degree. After emigrating to the United States, he enrolled at Columbia University and passed the master's examination in 1939. Under the guidance of Francis J. Murray , he continued his research until he received his doctorate in 1942.

Schatten's main mathematical work was the investigation of the tensor products of Banach spaces . The shadow classes , certain operator algebras, bear his name.
