[edit] Mathematical career
Loeb was introduced to theoretical mathematics at the 1982 Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics. He organized a similar program at SUPAERO, Toulouse in 1991 and ENSAM, Bordeaux in 1992 before returning to teach at HCSSiM in 1993 and 1994. He studied mathematics at Caltech (B.S. 1986), where he was a member of the Caltech Bayit and Ruddock House, and at MIT (Ph.D. 1989), where he was a student of Gian-Carlo Rota. After moving to France, Loeb continued to work under a NATO collaborative research grant with Alessandro Di Bucchianico and Gian-Carlo Rota on extensions to the umbral calculus.
Loeb worked six years at the University of Bordeaux's departments of mathematics and computer science before returning to the United States. Loeb now works in statistical arbitrage at Susquehanna International Group. (Note that Daniel E. Loeb is not the same finance expert as Daniel S. Loeb of Third Point Management.)
[edit] Family
The grandson of Chicago rabbi Selig Starr, Loeb married (June 7, 1990 Toulouse) Hélène Cohen-Scali (born 7 June 1965 in Toulouse), an aeronautical engineer who designed an autonomous boat for the port of Bordeaux as her Ph.D. thesis in control theory from the physics department of the University of Bordeaux. They have four children: Gabrielle, Jonathan Benjamin, and Rachel.
