Lawrence Livermore physicist Elizabeth Grace was jointly awarded the Sylvie Jacquemot Early Career Prize by the European Physical Society Plasma Physics Division and the Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion journal of IOP Publishing. During her time as a postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratory, Grace contributed to the development of the Single-shot Advanced Plasma Probe Holographic Reconstruction (SAPPHIRE) diagnostic at the Laboratory’s Jupiter Laser Facility.
The Laboratory’s Tammy Ma, director of the Livermore Institute for Fusion Technology, was named to the U.S. Department of Energy’s newly established Office of Science Advisory Committee. The committee was formed to bring together influential minds from industry, academia, and national laboratories to combat interdisciplinary technical and scientific challenges.
Laboratory Director Kimberly Budil was elected to the National Academy of Engineering for her technical and leadership contributions to nuclear deterrence efforts, as well as for her role as a high-level advisor to the U.S. government as the leader of Lawrence Livermore. Nominated by their peers, members join a community of like-minded professionals from around the globe.
Livermore researcher Wren Carr was selected as a Fellow of SPIE (the Society of Photo-Optical Engineers) for his work on laser-induced damage mechanisms in the National Ignition Facility, where he serves as the science and technology group leader. SPIE honors individuals whose leadership and technical capabilities have significantly impacted the field of optics and photonics.
