Robert Steinberg

Robert Steinberg (born May 251922 Soroki, Romania) is a mathematician at the University of California, Los Angeles who invented the Steinberg representation, the Steinberg group in algebraic K-theory, and the Steinberg groups in Lie theory that yield finite simple groups over finite fields. He received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Toronto in 1948.

He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1966, won the Steele Prize in 1985, was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1985, and won the Jeffery-Williams Prize in 1990 . He retired from UCLA in 1992.
