IAS Lee Kong Chian Distinguished Professor Public Lecture by Prof Steven Chu and Prof Yael Kalai

Prof Steven Chu, a Nobel Laureate in Physics (1997) and a former U.S. Secretary of Energy, is renowned for his groundbreaking work in laser cooling and trapping of atoms. In his lecture titled “The Challenges in Getting to Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions”, Prof Chu addressed the urgent issue of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and offered a comprehensive perspective on the path to a sustainable, low-carbon future. Prof Yael Kalai, a recipient of the ACM Prize in Computing (2022), is widely celebrated for her pioneering contributions to cryptography and computational theory. Titled “Compressing Proofs using Cryptography”, her lecture explored how cryptographic methods can shorten proofs while preserving their integrity, unlocking exciting possibilities for more efficient computation in fields of cybersecurity and blockchain.
