Share

Steven Chu is Professor of Physics and Molecular & Cellular Physiology and the William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University. From 2009 to 2013, he served as US Secretary of Energy. At the time of his appointment to the Cabinet, he was a Professor of Physics and Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Chu’s research focuses on the development and application of new optical nano-particles for the study of biological systems and organisms. He is also working with Prof. Yi Cui, Stanford, on next generation batteries for electric vehicles. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997 for his work at Bell Labs on cooling and trapping of atoms with laser light.
