Jean-Pierre Wolf (born July 14, 1960) is a French and Swiss physicist and biophotonics expert and a professor at the Applied Physics Department (GAP) of the University of Geneva.
[2] He is working with Jérôme Kasparian on laser beams to control the weather.
[3][4][5][6] The technique is similar to cloud seeding, and could potentially influence the triggering and guiding of lightning.
[8] Since 2017 his group is taking part into the Consortium of the European project Laser Lighting Rod.
In 2023 the LLR consortium demonstrated the first guiding of natural lightning over more than 50 m using laser filamentation.
