Michael S. Lubell[1] is an American physicist. He is the Mark W. Zemansky Professor of Physics at the City College of New York.[2]

Biography

Lubell received his B.A. from Columbia University and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Yale University.[2][3][4] He taught at Yale from 1971 to 1981 before joining the faculty of CCNY.[2] He served as department chair of CCN Y's physics department for six and half years.[2] His research has ranged from atomic, molecular, and optical physics to science and technology policy.

Lubell also held visiting professorships at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, the University of Texas-Austin, the University of Bielefeld and the Kavli Institute.[2] He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[2]

Lubell is most known for being the director of public affairs of the American Physical Society and one of the most visible spokespersons of the scientific community in Washington D.C.[5] He has formed coalitions with other scientific groups to advocate on behalf of increasing federal funding for science research.[5] Critical of President Donald Trump's policies, he was, however, removed from office a few days after the APS delivered a congratulatory message to Trump and urged him "to make sustained and robust funding of scientific research a top priority."[5]

Personal life and family

Lubell's father was Richard M. Lubell, a former deputy New York City Superintendent of Schools.[6] He is married to Ellen Bloom, daughter of journalist and freelance writer Murray Teigh Bloom,[7] a founder and former president of the American Society of Journalists and Authors.[8][9][10] His sister-in-law is the writer and psychotherapist Amy Bloom.
