Berkeley Lab physicist Kam-Biu Luk is among the 2016 Breakthrough Prize recipients for Fundamental Physics, which will be shared by five experimental teams studying neutrino oscillation, including two physicists – Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald – who won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering that neutrinos shift their identities as they travel at nearly the speed of light.
Kam-Biu Luk, a UC Berkeley professor of physics and Berkeley Lab scientist is the co-leader of one of the teams, the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment near Hong Kong.
The awards, given annually in the life sciences, physics and mathematics, celebrate scientists and seek to generate excitement about the pursuit of science as a career. They are sponsored by Google co-founder Sergey Brin and his wife, Anne Wojcicki, a founder of the genetics company 23andMe; Alibaba Group founder Jack Ma and his wife, Cathy Zhang; Russian entrepreneur and venture capitalist Yuri Milner and his wife, Julia; and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.
