Arthur Rosenfeld, Professor of Physics Emeritus at UC Berkeley, was the last graduate student of Nobelist Enrico Fermi. In 1955 he joined the Physics faculty at UC Berkeley and the research group of Luis Alvarez. In 1974, in response to the OPEC oil embargo, Rosenfeld switched to the new field of efficient use of energy, and founded the LBNL Center for Building Science, which he led until 1994, when he was appointed Senior Advisor to the Department of Energy, Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. In 2000 he was appointed Commissioner at the California Energy Commission, where he served two terms until 2010.
