mathematician physicist university professor
He received his Bachelor of Surgery in physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1953) and his Doctor of Philosophy in mathematical physics from the University of Birmingham in England (1956).
In particular, his scientific works pertain to: 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 in mathematics and physics with over 300 publications. Lieb was a (1956–1957) Fulbright Fellow at Kyoto University, Japan and for some time worked as the Staff Theoretical Physicist for International Business Machines Corporation. He has been a professor at Princeton since 1975, following a leave from his professorship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
