Moshe Gottlieb was born in Haifa in 1948. He holds a B.Sc. degree from the Chemical Engineering Department in the Technion in Haifa a PhD in Chemical Engineering (with a minor in Rheology) from the Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison (1978). After two years in the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis he joined the department of Chemical Engineering at Ben-Gurion University.

Current research interests include rheology, polymer solution and suspension, polymer-solid interactions, molecular organization in supramolecular systems, and gelation phenomena.
