Mikhail Yu Lyubich[1] (b. February 25, 1959 in Kharkov, Ukraine) is an American mathematician known for his work in dynamical systems. He received the Leningrad Mathematical Society prize in 1987, a Sloan Foundation research fellowship from 1991-95, and was a National Science Foundation grantee in 1991.[2] As of 2009, Lyubich is a professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook[3] and the Director of the Institute for Math Sciences at Stony Brook, NY.[4]

Born in what was then the Soviet Union to Yuri I. Lyubich and Lidia L. Finkelstein, he received his Master of Science, from Kharkov State University in 1980,[2] and his PhD from Tashkent State University in 1984. His PhD advisor was his father Y. I. Lyubich.[1]

In 1984 he married Lilia I. Gandelsman. [2]
