Leon M. Lederman, Ph.D., is one of the founding fathers of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, where he currently is a Resident Scholar. He is director emeritus of the nearby Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois-where the tau neutrino was discovered. As a result of the discovery of the muon neutrino, a crucial element in the organization of fundamental particles, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1988.
Dr. Lederman also holds an appointment as Pritzker Professor of Science at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and is a member of the National Academy of Science and the Secretary of Energy's Advisory Board. He serves on the Board of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and chairs the Committee on Capacity Building in Science of the Paris-based International Council of Scientific Unions. He has received numerous awards, including the National Medal of Science (1965), the Elliot Cresson Medal of the Franklin Institute (1976), the Wolf Prize in Physics (1982), and the Enrico Fermi Prize (1993).
