Lene Vestergaard Hau is Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Hau Lab, Harvard University, Cambridge, USA. She has carried out very successful experiments on manipulation of photons (light particles) describing their behaviour. The results have been of major importance for atom physics and its applications of basic quantum mechanics, which describes the behaviour of matter and energy in microcosmos. She has also made efforts in popularizing science.
