Sandia Labs FY22 Laboratory Directed Research & Development Annual Report

Prestigious Fellowships, Appointments and Memberships BRAD BOYCE NAMED VICE PRESIDENT OF THE MINERALS, METALS AND MATERIALS SOCIETY.

Brad Boyce, a materials scientist at Sandia, was elected president of The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society. Boyce became vice president of the society on March 3, 2022, at its annual meeting,

and will serve three consecutive one-year terms as vice president, president, and past president. He is the second Sandia employee to be elected to lead the professional society. The professional society, also known as TMS, includes 11,000 materials scientists and engineers from around the world. It fosters the exchange of knowledge and ideas in topics ranging from producing metals from mined ores to advanced applications of materials. Boyce has led numerous LDRD projects; he is currently the PI for the Beyond Fingerprinting Grand Challenge. The project aims to discover new resilient materials and manufacturing processes by taking an artificial-intelligence-guided approach that integrates human-subject-matter expertise with algorithms enriched with physics-based constraints to unearth process-structure-property correlations.

GANESH SUBRAMANIA RECOGNIZED BY SPIE, OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA. Ganesh Subramania was named a 2021 Fellow of SPIE, the international Society for Optics and Photonics, and a SPIE community champion. He was also appointed as a senior member of the Optical Society of America. Subramania has led eight LDRD projects and been a collaborator on numerous others and is an expert in light-matter interaction in photonic and plasmonic structures. He has over 15 years of experience in the design, fabrication, and characterization of nanophotonic structures.

SANDIA RESEARCHER RAY TUMINARO NAMED SIAM FELLOW.

Sandia computational scientist and applied mathematician Ray Tuminaro was named a 2022 Fellow of the

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics for “contributions in iterative linear-solver algorithms and software that address scientific computing applications on large-scale parallel systems.” Tuminaro has been a team member on numerous LDRDs and led a FY22 project developing linear system solves for matrix equations associated with multi-physics partial differential equation systems.
