Chamberlain's Los Alamos ID photo. Remarkably, He studied under Enrico Fermi, earning his PhD at University of Chicago. Fermi recognized his aptitude for experimental physics and guided him in that direction and away from the always exotic field of theoretical physics. More recently, he lobbied in behalf of physicists imprisoned by the Soviet Union for expressing political ideas antithetical to the welfare of the communist state.
