Birgeneau - for Chancellor of UC at Berkeley?
As President of the University of Toronto Robert Birgeneau was a liar and crook. He covered up a horrific fraud in this university. I do not know if he made any discoveries in physics, but he definitely is a completely dishonest man.

If this site does not show, see it as Cached in Google query "University of Toronto fraud".
