各位老师、同学：
向您转发一条活动信息。受清华大学的邀请，美国能源部部长朱棣文将于2009年7月15日上午11:00（本周三）在清华大学主楼报告厅进行主题演讲。具体信息如下：
清华论坛第23讲：Meeting the Energy and Climate Challenge（应对能源与气候变化的挑战）
报告人: 朱棣文
博士 美国能源部部长
诺贝尔物理学奖得主
报告时间: 2009-07-15 11am
报告地点: 清华大学主楼报告厅 （地图见附件）
主办单位: 清华学大校学术委员会
语言: 英语
*演讲人简介*
1948年2月28日出生于密苏里州圣路易斯，祖籍中国江苏省太仓县（今太仓市）。在美国罗彻斯特大学被授予数学文学士学位和物理学理学士学位；在美国加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校获得物理学博士学位；并在其它10所大学获得了荣誉学位。1997年与另外两名科学家成功地发明了用激光冷却并捕捉原子的方法，三人同时获诺贝尔物理学奖。自2004年以来，领导劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室研究替代能源和可再生能源。2008年12月，被美国新任总统奥巴马提名为能源部长，2009年1月2日宣誓就职。基于对原子物理学、量子电子学、聚合物和生物物理学多年的研究，朱棣文倡导通过科技的方法应对能源和全球气候的挑战，积极支持新能源和可再生能源的发展。已婚，育有两子。

Dear friends,
U.S. Secretary of Energy and Nobel Prize Winner Steven Chu will be giving a major speech on energy and climate change at 11am this Wednesday July 15, 2009 at Tsinghua University – and you’re invited.
If you are able to attend the forum, make sure to bring your ID card! No RSVP is needed. As seating will be limited, first come first served.
Title: “Meeting the Energy and Climate Challenge”
Time: 11 am on Wednesday July 15, 2009 [PLEASE ARRIVE BY 10:40]
Venue: Tsinghua University, Main Administrative Building, Lecture Hall (清华大学中央主楼) (Map attached)
Language: English
**About the speaker**
Dr. Steven Chu, distinguished scientist and co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics (1997), was appointed by President Barack Obama as the 12th Secretary of Energy and sworn into office on January 21, 2009.
Prior to his appointment, Dr. Chu was director of DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, and professor of Physics and Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California. He successfully applied the techniques he developed in atomic physics to molecular biology, and since 2004, motivated by his deep interest in climate change, he has recently led the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in pursuit of new alternative and renewable energies. Previously, he held positions at Stanford University and AT&T Bell Laboratories.
Professor Chu’s research in atomic physics, quantum electronics, polymer and biophysics includes tests of fundamental theories in physics, the development of methods to laser cool and trap atoms, atom interferometry, and the manipulation and study of polymers and biological systems at the single molecule level. While at Stanford, he helped start Bio-X, a multi-disciplinary initiative that brings together the physical and biological sciences with engineering and medicine.
Secretary Chu is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academica Sinica, the Korean Academy of Sciences and Technology and numerous other civic and professional organizations. He received an A.B. degree in mathematics, a B.S. degree in physics from the University of Rochester, a Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley as well as honorary degrees from 10 universities. Chu was born in Saint Louis, Missouri on February 28, 1948.
