Sandia Labs FY21 LDRD Annual Report

FY21 ANNUAL REPORT

Aaron Sharpe – FY21 Truman Fellow Aaron Sharpe obtained his PhD in Applied Physics from Stanford with an expressed interest in condensed matter physics. His research into graphene superlattices has resulted in the discovery that graphene can become both a superconductor and a ferromagnet (a tunable platform). His work has been published in Science, Nature, Physical Review Letters, Nature Communication s, and most recently in Nano Letters with an article focused on “Evidence of Orbital Ferromagnetism in Twisted Bilayer Graphene Aligned to Hexagonal Boron Nitride.” (Photo by Randy Wong)

Kelsey DiPietro, a Hruby Fellow who started at Sandia in FY20, is applying her computer model method to climate research , working with the Energy Department’s supercomputer-powered Energy Exascale Earth System Model , or E3SM, which already has one of the finest resolutions ever achieved for simulating aspects of the planet’s climate.
