Consortium with Minority Serving Institutions Delivers Opportunities for Students

by

The Consortium for High Energy Density Science (CfHEDS) had much to celebrate at its annual meeting this summer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).

“It was exciting to connect with our academic partners and their students,” said Federica Coppari, the LLNL liaison to CfHEDS. “The best part is hearing from the students about their research experience.”

The goal of CfHEDS is to expand and diversify the pipeline of students in high-energy-density science (HEDS), a field critical to much of the work done at LLNL. In 2018, CfHEDS was launched with a grant from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)’s Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program (MSIPP), which has been renewed through 2027.

Department of Energy Announces $49 Million for Research on Foundational Laboratory Fusion

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the Department of Energy (DOE) continues to accelerate a clean-energy future that includes fusion technology, a total of $49 million in funding for 19 projects was announced today in the Foundational Fusion Materials, Nuclear Science, and Technology programs.

The purpose of the funding is to reorient the laboratory-based foundational and basic science research programs to better align and support the new FES program vision.  

Livermore Valley Open Campus Hits Collaborative Stride

by

Increasing national security requirements and a significant change in the workforce demanded that Lawrence Livermore and Sandia national laboratories shift the way they do business after more than 50 years.

Both labs traditionally had recruited from top universities’ graduate programs and once people joined, they spent their career on the East Avenue facilities in Livermore. For some, they found the work so interesting that after they retired, they volunteered to continue their research.

Signal And Image Science Community Comes Together for Annual Workshop

by

Nearly 150 members of the signal and image science community recently came together to discuss the latest advances in the field and connect with colleagues, friends and potential collaborators at the 28th annual Center for Advanced Image and Signal Science (CASIS) workshop.

Held at the University of California Livermore Collaboration Center (UCLCC) for the first time, the workshop achieved its highest attendance and greatest external participation in years. The event featured more than 50 technical contributions across six workshop tracks…
