On October 27th, 2016, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz toured the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) at the University of Rochester. Schumer, who last year helped secure $68 million in funding from the 2016 budget for the LLE, advocated for federal investment in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2017 and Fiscal Year 2018 federal budgets to help grow the laser lab, which is a key driver of Rochester’s optics and photonics prowess and in the nation’s development of new clean energy sources. Schumer said this visit symbolizes a major milestone for the University and will show their research to the nation’s top energy scientist.
