Sandia Labs FY22 Laboratory Directed Research & Development Annual Report

FY22 ANNUAL REPORT

PROFESSIONAL FELLOWS One relevant indicator of advancement and leadership in an ST&E field is the election of individuals as fellows of professional societies. This indicator reflects success for both the individual researcher and the affiliated laboratory. Researchers at Sandia have been elected as fellows to over 25 prestigious scientific and engineering societies, with the most fellows elected to the societies listed below.

• American Association for the Advancement of Science • American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics • American Physical Society • American Society of Mechanical Engineers • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers • Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

Since 2011, 82 individuals have been elected fellow to at least one professional society (seven individuals hold appointments from multiple societies), and 82% of fellows had LDRD experience during their Sandia careers.
