Systems, Director of the Energy Initiative, and Director of the Laboratory for
Energy and the Environment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where
he has served on the faculty since 1973. Dr. Moniz served as Under
Secretary of the Department of Energy from 1997 until January 2001 and, from
1995 to 1997, as Associate Director for Science in the Office of Science and
Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President. At MIT, Dr.
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 and in energy technology and policy
studies. He serves on President Obama’s Council of Advisors
for Science and Technology (PCAST) and was named to the Department of
Energy’s Blue Ribbon Commission on <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place>’s Nuclear Future as

manifest locally but many are global in nature. Compelling challenges demand
our attention as a solo entity and in partnership with other groups living and
working on the coasts and at sea. MIT Sea Grant brings the substantial
intellectual abilities of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and our
sister universities to bear on ocean-related challenges requiring an
extraordinary technical contribution. In meeting these challenges, we expand
human understanding of the ocean and establish the infrastructure to sustain
the initiatives and talent pool needed to address complex issues of critical
and fragile marine resources.</span></font></span><font size="2" color="#221e1f" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";
