FY19 ANNUAL REPORT

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Fellow

Michael Heroux, senior scientist at Sandia’s Center for Computing Research , was selected as a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). The SIAM Fellows Program honored Mike for research, leadership, and building community in software and algorithms for scientific and high performance computing. Mike leads the Trilinos scientific software project for Sandia, which collects open-source

software libraries, called packages, used as building blocks for the development of scientific applications. He is also the director of software technology for the DOE’s Exascale Computing Project, overseeing efforts to provide key elements of the software stack for the next generation of leadership computing platforms. LDRD funds early in Mike’s Sandia career enabled fundamental and collaborative research and development in algorithms and software for advanced high-performance computing systems. The success of these LDRD efforts laid some of the foundation for Mike’ contributions to the SIAM community, contributing to his recognition as a SIAM Fellow.

Materials Research Society Mid-Career Researcher Award

Hongyou Fan , Sandia materials scientist, is the sole recipient of this year’s Mid- Career Researcher Award from the Materials Research Society , the largest U.S. materials society. The distinction is given midway in a researcher’s career for exceptional achievements in materials research and for notable leadership in the field. Hongyou was chosen for “outstanding contributions in nanoparticle self-assembly of functional nanomaterials.” He is widely recognized for pioneering work that employs stress rather than chemistry — the more

A distinguished member of Sandia’s technical staff and a national laboratory professor at the University of New Mexico, Hongyou is the first U.S. national lab researcher to win the mid-career award, which has been presented annually for the last seven years.
