Professor Elliott H. Lieb

Elliott H. Lieb is an eminent Jewish-American mathematical physicist and professor of mathematics and physics at Princeton University who specializes in statistical mechanics, condensed matter theory, and functional analysis¹. In particular, his scientific works pertain to: statistical mechanics (e.g., Bose gas sources), the quantum and classical many-body problem, the stability of matter, atomic structure, the theory of magnetism, and the Hubbard model. He is a prolific author of mathematics and physics publications, enumerating in excess of 300. He received his B.S. in physics from MIT (1953) and his Ph.D. in mathematical physics from the University of Birmingham in England (1956). Lieb was a (1956-1957) Fulbright Fellow at Kyoto University, Japan and for some time worked as the Staff Theoretical Physicist for IBM. He has been a professor at Princeton since 1975, following a leave from his professorship at MIT. Lieb has been awarded several prizes in mathematics and physics, including the Heineman prize in Mathematical Physics of the American Physical Society and the American Institute of Physics (1978), the Max Planck Medal of the German Physical Society (1992), the Boltzmann medal of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (1998), the Schock Prize (2001), and the Poincare prize of the International Association of Mathematical Physics (2003). He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and has twice served ((1982-1984) and (1997-1999)) as the President of the International Association of Mathematical Physics.
