Awards

The Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program (OSELP) named Livermore researchers Kathryn Mohror and T. Yong Han as Oppenheimer Fellows. The highly competitive program brings together exceptional leaders to explore the complexities, challenges, and opportunities facing national laboratories and the Department of Energy (DOE). Mohror, a computer scientist, leads the Parallel Systems group within Livermore’s Center for Applied Scientific Computing (CASC) and focuses on data management performance in high-performance computing. Han, a materials scientist, leads the Functional Materials Synthesis and Integration group in the Laboratory’s Materials Science division as well as the Production Enablement and Prototyping program working to accelerate integration of new materials into defense technologies. Mohror and Han will join OSELP awardees from each of the national laboratories for leadership mentoring from senior DOE professionals.

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) named Livermore computational mathematician Rob Falgout recipient of the 2022 SIAM Activity Group on Supercomputing Career Prize. The award recognizes his contributions to theory, algorithms, and open-source software in parallel scientific computing. A Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at the Laboratory, Falgout leads the hypre linear solvers project and XBraid parallel time integration project.
