Jean-Pierre Wolf is a French and Swiss physicist and biophotonics expert and a Professor at the Applied Physics Department (GAP) of the University of Geneva. He is working with Jérôme Kasparian on laser beams to control the weather. The technique is similar to cloud seeding, and could potentially influence the triggering and guiding of lightning. In 2018, he is one of the two winners of the ZEISS Research Award for his research on high intensity lasers and their applications to atmospheric sciences.
