Alessandra Lanzara is the Charles Kittel Professor of Physics at UC Berkeley. As the new Director of the Berkeley Discovery Hub, Alessandra’s vision is to leverage Berkeley’s distinctive history in social, political, artistic, and scientific change to create a transformative journey for our undergraduate students. Discovery will include academic, experiential, and real-world dimensions, while preparing students with the creative, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills to respond to the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing world.
