About the author
Michael A. (Mikhail) Liberman is a professor of theoretical physics at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (Nordita) Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University. His scientific interests span from plasma physics to quantum coherence, Bose–Einstein condensation of excitons, combustion theory and astrophysics.
A graduate of Moscow State University, Liberman obtained his Ph.D. from the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, commencing his career as a theoretical physicist with the guidance from legendary scientists, Yakov Zel’dovich and Ilia Lifshits at the L. Landau theoretical department of the famous P. L. Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems. During that period, he was awarded his second doctorate degree (‘habilitation’) at the G. I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. In 1993, Liberman was elected professor of theoretical physics at Uppsala University. He is currently a professor at NORDITA, emeritusat Uppsala University and honorary professor at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
He authored over 300 peer-reviewed papers. He also served as a principal investigator on numerous projects for the Swedish National Foundation Research Council, Swedish Energy Agency, Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences and as a scientific consultant of National laboratories in the USA and global industry.Bibliographic Information
