Paul Chu
Receives Appointment to President’s Committee on the National Medal of Science
Houston, TX, 1 July 2007: One of the
nation’s most renowned researchers – and a
University of Houston professor – will help decide which of his colleagues
across the country will receive the nation’s highest award for science.
The White House has appointed Paul Ching-Wu Chu,
a physics professor and the T.L.L. Temple Chair of Science, to be among 12
distinguished scientists who will evaluate nominees for the National Medal of
Science. Chu, who in 1990 was named Best Researcher in the United States by U.S.
News and World Report magazine, will serve on the President’s Committee on the
National Medal of Science through 2009. He received the award in 1988 for his
work on high temperature superconductivity, making him the only UH professor to
earn the honor.
“The medal represents a token, but significant,
gesture in our national commitment to science,” Chu said.
