From wiki:


Steven Chu (Chinese: ???; pinyin: Zhu- Dìwén) (b. February 28, 1948,
St. Louis, Missouri)[1] is an American experimental physicist. He is
known for his research in laser cooling and trapping of atoms, which won
him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997. His current research is
concerned primarily with the study of biological systems at the single
molecule level. He is currently Professor of Physics and Molecular and
Cellular Biology of University of California, Berkeley and the director
of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. As global warming warnings
grow more dire, Chu is currently pushing his scientists at Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory and industry to develop technologies to
reverse climate change. Chief in Chu's campaign is an unprecedented
research pact reached between UC Berkeley, oil industry giant BP, the
Lawrence Berkeley Lab and the University of Illinois.

Nearly US$400 million in new lab space will expand energy-related
molecular work centered at Lawrence Berkeley that involves a cast of
partners around the world; a US$160 million Energy Biosciences Institute
(scheduled to open in 2010)[2] and funded by BP will include Chu's
separate solar energy program.
