Kuperberg is the son of two mathematicians, Krystyna Kuperberg and Włodzimierz Kuperberg. He was born in Poland in 1967, but his family emigrated to Sweden in 1969 due to the 1968 Polish political crisis. In 1974, Kuperberg's family moved to the United States, eventually settling in Auburn, Alabama. Kuperberg wrote three computer games for the IBM Personal Computer in 1982 and 1983: Paratrooper, J-Bird and PC-Man. He enrolled at Harvard University in 1983 and received a bachelor's degree in 1987.
Upon leaving Harvard, Kuperberg studied at the University of California, Berkeley under Andrew Casson, receiving a Ph.D. in geometric topology and quantum algebra in 1991. From 1991 until 1992, Kuperberg was...
