Sandia Labs Academic Alliance 2019 Collaboration Report

Sandia's Academic Alliance (SAA) program takes a deliberate approach to building partnerships with universities that combine strengths in key academic disciplines, contain sizable portfolios of relevant research capabilities, and demonstrate a strong institutional commitment to national security. The SAA Program aims to solve significant problems that Sandia could not address alone, sustain and enrich Sandia's talent pipeline, and accelerate the commercialization and adoption of new technologies.

The 2018 Nonlinear Mechanics and Dynamics Research Institute

The 2018 Nonlinear Mechanics and Dynamics (NOMAD) Research Institute was successfully held from June 18 to August 2, 2018. NOMAD brings together participants with diverse technical backgrounds to work in small teams to cultivate new ideas and approaches in engineering mechanics and dynamics research. NOMAD provides an opportunity for researchers -- especially early career researchers - to develop lasting collaborations that go beyond what can be established from the limited interactions at their institutions or at annual conferences. A total of 17 students came to Albuquerque, New Mexico to participate in the seven-week long program held at the Mechanical Engineering building on the University of New Mexico campus. The students collaborated on one of six research projects that were developed by various mentors from Sandia National Laboratories, University of New Mexico, and academic institutions. In addition to the research activities, the students attended weekly technical seminars, various tours, and socialized at various off-hour events including an Albuquerque Isotopes baseball game. At the end of the summer, the students gave a final technical presentation on their research findings. Many of the research discoveries made at NOMAD are published as proceedings at technical conferences and have direct alignment with the critical mission work performed at Sandia.

The 2017 Nonlinear Mechanics and Dynamics Research Institute.

The 2017 Nonlinear Mechanics and Dynamics (NOMAD) Research Institute was successfully held from June 19 to July 28, 2017. NOMAD seeks to bring together participants with diverse technical backgrounds to work in small teams to utilize an interactive approach to cultivate new ideas and approaches in engineering . NOMAD provides an opportunity for researchers - especially early career researchers - to develop lasting collaborations that go beyond what can be established from the limited interactions at their institutions or at annual conferences. A total of 17 students from around the world came to Albuquerque, New Mexico to participate in the six - week long program held at the University of New Mexico campus. The students collaborated on one of six research projects that were developed by various mentors from Sandia National Laboratories, academia, and other government laboratories. In addition to the research activities, the students attended weekly technical seminars, toured the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History, and socialized at various off - hour events including an Albuquerque Isotopes baseball game. At the end of the summer, the students gave a final technical presentation o n their research findings that was broadcast via Skype. Many of the research discoveries made at NOMAD are published as proceedings at technical conference s and have direct alignment with the critical mission work performed at Sandia.
