FY19 ANNUAL REPORT

Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers Award Engineer Alan Mar, who worked at the Labs for 25 years, was honored by the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers with a 2019 Professional Achievement Award. The society recognized Alan as someone who “has made significant discoveries, made important advances in his or her chosen career path and is acknowledged as a leader of large initiatives.”

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Early Achievement Award Sandia physicist Matthew Gomez received the 2019 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’

Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Early Achievement Award. Only one scientist in the world receives the award each year that recognizes excellence in technical contributions to the fields of nuclear and plasma science that take place during the first 10 years after the honoree completes their degree. An experimental high energy density physicist, Matt was honored for contributions to magnetically driven high energy density physics, and for leadership in the experimental demonstration of a magneto-inertial fusion concept with the possibility of scaling to ignition. He led more than 90 experiments at the Z-machine facility and published the first experimental results of the Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) concept. His publication on the first MagLIF experiments has received more than 130 citations in the last four years, and he has given 11 invited talks on MagLIF during roughly the same time span.
