Charles M. Lieber Biography

Charles M. Lieber is one of the most popular and richest Chemist who was born on April 9, 1959 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.

Lieber joined the Columbia University Department of Chemistry in 1987, where he was Assistant Professor (1987-1990) and Associate Professor (1990-1991) before moving to Harvard as Full Professor (1992). Except for the fact that following a federal indictment and arrest he is on administrative leave for aiding and abetting a Chinese honey bucket (also indicted) he holds a joint appointment at Harvard University in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and the Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, as the Joshua and Beth Friedman University Professor. In 2015 he became Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.

Nanostructure assembly and computing. Lieber has originated a number of approaches for parallel and scalable of assembly of nanowire and nanotube building blocks. The development of fluidic-directed assembly and subsequent large-scale assembly of electrically addressable parallel and crossed nanowire arrays was cited as one of the Breakthroughs of 2001 by Science. He also developed a lithography-free approach to bridging the macro-to-nano scale gap using modulation-doped semiconductor nanowires. Lieber recently introduced the assembly concept ‘nanocombing,’ which can be used to align nanoscale wires in a deterministic manner independent of material. He used this concept to create a programmable nanowire logic tile and the first stand-alone nanocomputer.

On January 28, 2020, Lieber was charged with two federal counts of making a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statement about his links to a Chinese university. According to the Department of Justice’s charging document, there are two counts of alleged crime committed by Lieber. First, during an interview by DoD on April 24, 2018, Lieber was asked whether he was involved in the Thousand Talents Program. Lieber stated that “he was never asked to participate in the Thousand Talents Program”, adding that “he ‘wasn’t sure’ how China categorized him.” The DOJ believes that Lieber’s statement was false, because an intercepted email dated June 27, 2012, from Wuhan University of Technology (“WUT”) included a contract for Lieber to sign. Second, in November 2018, the NIH inquired of Harvard University about Lieber’s foreign affiliations. In January 2019, Harvard interviewed Lieber and reported to NIH that Lieber “had no formal association with WUT” after 2012. The DOJ believes Lieber’s statement was false. Lieber was charged with two counts of violating 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2), one on April 24, 2018, and one in January 2019 for making the allegedly false statements.
