Ross Lomanitz was born in Bryan, Brazos County, Texas. His father, a Polish immigrant, was an agricultural chemist and named his son after the Italian socialist Giovanni Rossi, who had founded an agricultural commune in Brazil in the 1890s.
Lomanitz grew up in Oklahoma, graduated from high school at age 14, and went on to earn his bachelor of science degree in physics from the University of Oklahoma. He would later earn his doctorate in theoretical physics in 1951 from Cornell University.
Lomanitz started graduate school in the early 1940s at the University of California, Berkeley. While there, he became a protégé of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and worked at the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory on a new method of electromagnetic separation of isotopes. Lomanitz worked for a time on the Manhattan Project until he was drafted into the U.S. Army and served in the Pacific Theater during WWII.
In 1962 Lomanitz began working at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology at Socorro, eventually becoming department chairman. He retired in 1991 and later moved to Pahoa, Hawaii where he died of cancer in 2002.
