Short answers, pulled from the story.
Bruria Kaufman was an Israeli American theoretical physicist who lived from 1918 to 2010. She is known for co-authoring two articles with Albert Einstein, contributing to his book on relativity, and for finding an elegant group-theory-based solution to the two-dimensional Ising model alongside Lars Onsager in 1949.
Kaufman used spinor analysis to rederive Lars Onsager's 1944 result for the partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model. Working with Onsager himself, she produced a solution published in 1949 that was regarded as considerably simpler than Onsager's original derivation.
Kaufman worked with Einstein from 1950 to 1955 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. She co-authored two articles with him and contributed to his book on relativity, focusing on his general theory of relativity and the non-symmetric field theory.
Kaufman earned a Bachelor of Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1938 and a PhD from Columbia University in 1948.
Kaufman studied the Mössbauer effect in Israel in collaboration with Professor Harri Zvi Lipkin and John von Neumann. She and Lipkin published an article together in which she applied mathematics to the physics of the effect.
Kaufman married the linguist Zellig S. Harris in 1941; Harris died in 1992. She later married Nobel laureate Willis Eugene Lamb in 1996, though the marriage ended in divorce. She died on the 7th of January 2010 at Carmel Hospital in Haifa, Israel.
