High gradient research and facilities at Los Alamos National Laboratory [Slides]
A particle accelerator is a scientific instrument that produces a directional stream of electrically charged particles, usually electrons or protons. The accelerator propels particles to high speeds, close to the speed of light. Historically, accelerators play a crucial role in scientific discovery. Nowadays, accelerators produce particle beams for biomedical and material research, manufacturing, energy technology, and Homeland security.
Early Intervention Program Los Alamos National Laboratory [Slides]
Objectives of the Program: Identify employees with symptoms/discomfort and provide early intervention/rapid response before discomfort becomes an injury; Demonstrate to employees that the Laboratory cares about them using a personalized approach; Improve worker productivity and workplace satisfaction; Spread the word so that employees report discomfort early and rapid intervention can be executed to prevent injuries; facilitate procurement of necessary equipment as quickly as possible given risk of progression to injury.
Los Alamos National Laboratory - LANSCE AOT-RFE & University 805 MHz Klystron Tubes projects.
We want to assess the group’s capability and the ability to build such capabilities, such as to turn a collaboration into a production and operation capability for the LANSCE 805 MHz RF power system.

Los Alamos National Laboratory: SULI Appointment
The progenitors of gamma-ray bursts - the brightest explosions in our universe - are still poorly understood. It has been suggested that massive stars collapsing in interacting binary systems (i.e. with a closely orbiting compact object companion) can provide the necessary angular momentum and dense surrounding medium to explain observations of radio-loud gamma-ray bursts. We explore this progenitor system using the population synthesis code COSMIC. We explore the dependence of the properties of an interacting binary systems - including the remnant types and their masses - on metallicity and mass raction of the binary system. We also explore how the rates of populations of these systems depend on metallicity. Our findings help constrain what properties lead to viable GRB progenitors, especially radio loud GRBs.

The Los Alamos Dynamic Summer School: A 25-year Pipeline and Education Program [Slides]
The Engineering Institute (EI) is a research and education collaboration between LANL and the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Jacobs School of Engineering started in 2003.
Los Alamos National Laboratory Triad ST&E Committee Meeting Update: Entrepreneurial programs [Slides]
Why do our staff need an entrepreneurial mindset? “…dramatic change will be required to meet the needs of the deterrent today and into the future. This will require a shift away from highly conservative technical decision making to a risk informed approach, the adoption of modern manufacturing technologies and approaches and embrace of digital tools..."
