'''Michel Jacques Louis Baranger''' (31 July 1927, [[Le Mans]] – 1 October 2014, [[Tucson, Arizona]])<ref>biographical information from ''American Men and Women of Science'', Thomson Gale 2004.</ref><ref name=ObitMIT>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> was a Franco-American theoretical [[physicist]].
Baranger matriculated in 1945 at the [[École normale supérieure (Paris)|École normale supérieure, Paris]], graduating there in 1949. In 1951 he received from [[Cornell University]] his PhD under [[Hans Bethe]] with dissertation ''Relativistic Corrections to the [[Lamb shift]]''.<ref></ref> (Bethe, [[Laurie Brown (physicist)|L. M. Brown]], and John R. Stehn had previously calculated a non-relavistic estimate of the Lamb shift.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>) At Cornell University and then at [[Caltech]] from 1953 to 1955, he was also an assistant to [[Richard Feynman]].<ref>Feynman said, in retrospect, that his collaboration with Baranger suffered from the fact that often when he gave Baranger a problem to solve, Feynman solved the problem himself during their discussion of the problem. This phenomenon was one of the reasons that Feynman had few students. </ref> In 1955 Baranger joined the physics department of [[Carnegie Institute of Technology]], where he became an assistant professor in 1956 and a full professor in 1964. In 1969 he became a professor at [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]], where he retired as professor emeritus in 1997. After retirement from MIT, he worked at the New England Complex Systems Institute and was an adjunct professor at the University of Arizona, Tucson.<ref name=ObitMIT/>
In 1961/62 he was Senior Fellow of the National Science Foundation at the Sorbonne.
He was a US citizen. He was a Fellow of the [[American Physical Society]].
Upon his death he was survived by two sons, a daughter, four grandchildren, and three former wives: Elizabeth Urey Baranger (born 1927, a physicist and eldest child of [[Harold Urey]]), Anne Gerard and Mary Lee Baranger.<ref name=ObitMIT/>
