...college graduate himself, Chu had the “single-minded” goal to become a physicist, spending eight years studying at Berkeley and then nine years working at Bell Laboratories—a “warm, cozy ivory tower” that he would eventually leave to teach at Stanford and then the University of California, Berkeley...
...reducing carbon emissions, both as Energy Secretary and in his career as an academic. Chu received a Nobel Prize in 1997 for his work cooling atoms using laser lights.
