Prominent Harvard Professor Convicted of Lying to Hide Ties to Chinese University

Charles Lieber, former chair of Harvard's chemistry department, was paid $50,000 a month by Wuhan University of Technology from 2012 to 2017.
Lieber agreed to publish articles, organize conferences, and apply for patents on behalf of Chinese students while receiving funding from US government agencies.
Lieber denied his involvement with Wuhan University to US authorities during their investigation.
Lieber was convicted of making false statements and failing to pay taxes on payments from Wuhan University.
Due to an incurable cancer diagnosis, Lieber was sentenced to six months of house arrest instead of prison time.
