知道朱棣文教授要在哈佛的第358届毕业典礼上演讲，凭票进入，所以也就没有机会亲自感受了。刚好有人告诉昨天下午有一个对话节目，于是就去听了。

对话会后的交流

 

没办法，没有带本子，只好请你在这张纸上给我留个纪念吧

 

别着急走，不给名片就在我的名片上留下你的吧。

后记，整个对话持续一个半小时。结束后有两个人要求合影，一位外国人，一位华人。我是有心无胆，所以。。。

附朱棣文的简单介绍

Steven Chu

An eminent scientist whose work at the crossroads of physics and biology has now brought him to prominence on the national and international policy stage, Chu was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate in January to serve as the nation’s 12th secretary of energy.

A past professor at Stanford and then the University of California, Berkeley, Chu was co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics in 1997 for his role in developing methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light. From 2004 to 2008 he led the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, one of the nation’s pre-eminent scientific institutions, directing its intensified focus on energy and the environment.

Early in his tenure as energy secretary, Chu has identified among his major goals the intention to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, to use energy in the most efficient ways possible, and to lower carbon emissions.

As director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Chu guided its growing focus on the search for alternative and renewable sources of energy, aiming to extend the lab’s leadership efforts in climate science, the search for new fuels, and the development of energy-efficient technologies. He emerged as a champion of bringing together investigators from the life sciences, the physical sciences, and engineering to work on biofuels, solar energy, new battery technologies, and other innovations.

A native of St. Louis, Chu attended the University of Rochester, graduating in 1970, and received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1976. He spent his early scientific career at AT&T Bell Laboratories, where he did the principal work later recognized with a Nobel Prize.

He served from 1987 to 2004 as a professor of physics and applied physics at Stanford, where he twice chaired the Physics Department and helped launch the interdisciplinary initiative Bio-X. He joined the University of California faculty in 2004, when he became director of the Berkeley Lab, serving concurrently as professor of physics and of molecular and cell biology.

His own research has ranged across important areas of atomic physics, biophysics, and polymer physics. In recent years, he has increasingly turned his attention to how insights and discoveries in physics and biology can be applied to problems of energy and the environment.

Chu’s numerous honors, in addition to the Nobel Prize, include the American Physical Society’s Arthur Schawlow Prize for Laser Science, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s Senior Scientist Award, and membership in the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academia Sinica, and the Korean Academy of Sciences and Technology.
