Baosheng Li

Research Professor
Office Phone: (631) 632-9642
Email: Baosheng (dot) Li (at) sunysb (dot) edu

Li’s research interest includes (1) experimental measurement and theoretical simulation of the physical properties of materials at extreme conditions (pressure, temperature, stress) on Earth minerals, metals, ceramics, semi/superconductors, glass and nano-structured materials (2) synthesize and characterization of functional materials for industrial/energy applications; (3) experimental study and thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibrium of Earth’s mantle minerals to constrain the composition and dynamics of the Earth’s interior and the origin of mantle heterogeneity. Students and postdocs with different backgrounds can find that they can easily fit in the field of the ultrasonics group.

Liebermann’s Group Members


Robert C. Liebermann

Distinguished Service Professor - Department of Geosciences
 Office Phone: (631) 632-1968
Email: Robert (dot) Liebermann (at) stonybrook (dot) edu

Professor Liebermann's research interests are in the field of mineral physics, which is dedicated to understanding how the physical and chemical properties of minerals and rocks control their geological behavior, especially at high pressures and temperatures. Liebermann is also a founding member the Committee on Mineral and Rock Physics and a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the Mineralogical Society of America. In April 2004, he received the degree of Docteur Honoris Causa from the Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France. Since September 2003, Liebermann has served as President of the Consortium for Materials Properties Research in Earth Sciences [COMPRES]. The headquarters of COMPRES are in the Mineral Physics Institute of Stony Brook University. To download a complete publication list, CLICK HERE, and for a complete Curriculum Vitae, CLICK HERE.
