(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Theodore Aaron Litovitz was physics professor at The Catholic University of America and a prolific inventor. His inventions include a method to safely store nuclear waste, an electronic chip to shield cell phone users from harmful electromagnetic radiation, and some of the early fiber optics now used in telecommunications. Litovitz held 25 patents, and was the co-founder of Catholic University's Vitreous State Laboratory, where students used vitrification to immobilize radioactive waste. The process he pioneered is expected to save 20 years and $20 billion in cleanup costs at the government's Hanford Nuclear Reservation alone.
