Evento
Materials R&D at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: September Silicon Valley ACS section dinner meeting with guest speaker Dr. Robert Maxwell
Title:
Materials R&D at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Guest Speaker:
Dr. Robert S. Maxwell
Materials Science Division Leader
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Livermore, CA
Abstract:
Established in 1952, LLNL is a multidisciplinary National Laboratory 35 miles east of San Francisco focused on applying state of the art science, engineering, and operational expertise to Nuclear, International and Domestic and Energy and Environmental Security missions. Chemical and Material Sciences play critical roles in meeting the decadal challenges in these areas including developing target and optical materials for the National Ignition Facility, science based predictive models of material behavior and aging, and new material and manufacturing solutions for emerging energy security needs. An overview of LLNL, its missions, and examples of the integration of our capabilities in synthesis, characterization, multiscale modeling, and advanced manufacturing to advance material and component design and understanding will be presented.
This work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344.
Bio:
Dr. Maxwell is currently the Division Leader for Material Science at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The 350 staff within MSD support all the National Security programs at LLNL and include core capabilities in computational material science, advanced characterization, optical and composite material synthesis and manufacturing, and actinides and energetic materials. Dr. Maxwell received his Ph.D. in 1993 from University of California Santa Barbara. He served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at PNNL and joined LLNL in 1997. Since then he has held numerous management and technical roles. He has ongoing research interests in the Development and use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods to the study of the structure and dynamics of materials, including glasses, ceramics, polymers, and composites; the application of experimental and computational methods to gain fundamental understanding of material aging and degradation mechanisms; and the development and characterization of novel materials and synthesis and manufacturing processes (including Additive Manufacturing) to meet the needs of the laboratories National Security sponsors.
