Cyril Domb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyril Domb (born 9 December 1920) is a British scientist now living in Israel. He was university lecturer in mathematics at Cambridge University between 1952 and 1954 and Professor of Theoretical Physics at King's College London between 1954 and 1981. Domb was Professor of Physics at Bar-Ilan University between 1981-89 and currently Professor Emeritus there.

He is also President of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists. Professor Domb at the behest of the Lubavitcher Rebbe began to compile articles designed at reconciling purported contradictions between science and Judaism. The fruits of this labor began the proceedings of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and was published in the collection titled Challenge and Encounter. He now resides with his wife Shirly in Israel together with their six children and numerous grandchildren.

Cyril Domb has studied at Hackney Downs School and Pembroke College, Cambridge.
