Libeskind-Hadas graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Applied Mathematics in 1987. He went on to complete an M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1993. In August of that year he was hired into the Department of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College, a liberal arts school that focuses on science and engineering. He has been in the Department of Computer Science since May 1994, and served as acting chair of the department in 2006-2007.

Libeskind-Hadas holds the Joseph B. Platt Endowed Chair for effective teaching from 2005 to 2010. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation.
