| Abstract | Astrophysicist and physics professor Gibor Basri was born on May 3, 1951 in New York City. He grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado and attended Stanford University, receiving his B.S. degree in physics in 1973. He earned his Ph.D. degree in astrophysics from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1979, then began his lengthy career at the University of California, Berkeley. Basri's research focused on star formation, stellar magnetic activity, and very low-mass stars. His work was instrumental in the discovery of brown dwarf stars in 1995 and the use of lithium dating to determine their age. He was promoted to full professor at the University of California, Berkeley in 1994; and to first vice chancellor for equity and inclusion in 2007. In 2001, Basri became co-investigator of NASA's Kepler mission to locate extra-solar terrestrial planets. The author of over two hundred publications, Basri became a leading name in astrophysics. |
