He graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree magna cum laude and a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics in 1976. 1980, it was at Norberto Kerzman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology PhD (kernel functions related to spaces of holomorphic functions Projections ontological ). From 1980 he was JF Ritt Assistant Professor at Columbia University and from 1984 Assistant Professor at Texas A & M University, where he became Associate Professor in 1987 and Professor in 1992.

Straube ( also Texas A & M University ), he received the 1995 Stefan Bergman Prize of the AMS for contributions to the theory of the boundary regularity of the inhomogeneous Cauchy -Riemann equations in pseudoconvex regions in n-dimensional complex spaces.

2001 to 2003 he was editor of the Notices of the AMS. He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

He gave two books of his father in an improved form of newly issued ( Invitation to Complex Analysis 2010, A primer of real functions, 1996) and translated literature from Russian.
