Zheng-Tian Lu is a Senior Scientist in the Physics Division of Argonne National Laboratory and a Professor (part-time) in the Physics Department and Enrico Fermi Institute of The University of Chicago. He received a B.Sc. from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1987, and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1994. He was a postdoc at JILA prior to joining Argonne in 1997. Throughout his career, Lu has been developing novel techniques of laser manipulation and laser spectroscopy of atoms, and applying these techniques to ultrasensitive trace analysis, studying nuclear structure, and testing fundamental symmetries. He received both the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers and the DOE Office of Science Early Career Scientist and Engineer Award in 2000. He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2006, and received the Society’s Francis M. Pipkin Award in 2009.
