Biographical Sketch
Ernest J. Moniz is a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, where he has served on the faculty since
1973. Professor Moniz served as Under Secretary of the Department
of Energy from October 1997 until January 2001. He also served from
1995 to 1997 as Associate Director for Science in the Office of
Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President,
where his responsibilities spanned the physical, life, and social
and behavioral sciences, science education, and university-government
partnerships. At MIT, Professor Moniz served as Head of the Department
of Physics and as Director of the Bates Linear Accelerator Center.
His principal research contributions have been in theoretical nuclear
physics, particularly in advancing nuclear reaction theory at high
energy.
Professor Moniz received a Bachelor of Science degree in physics
from Boston College, a doctorate in theoretical physics from Stanford
University, and honorary doctorates from the University of Athens
and the University of Erlangen-Nurenburg. He is a Fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Humboldt
Foundation, and the American Physical Society and a member of the
