The LANS, LLC office supports the Laboratory director and the Board of Governors in executing the Laboratory governance model required by the LANS prime contract with NNSA. In his new role, Ethridge works with the LANS parent organizations to fulfill the commitment to support the leadership team in the management of the Laboratory. Ethridge joined the Lab in 2006. As associate director for the former Infrastructure and Site Services Directorate, he managed operations and maintenance of all non-nuclear facilities and infrastructure at Los Alamos. Ethridge holds a doctorate in ceramic engineering and a master’s degree in nuclear engineering, both from the University of Washington, as well as a bachelor’s degree in mechanical and nuclear engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. Buckley inducted into school district Hall of FameJocelyn Buckley of Water Quality and RCRA, a 1984 graduate of Petal High School in Petal, Mississippi, is the first African-American woman to be inducted into the Petal School District Academic Hall of Fame. Buckley is a certified hazardous materials manager and certified environmental, safety, and health trainer. She has a master’s degree in environmental engineering from Howard University in Washington, D.C. and bachelor’s degrees in mathematics from William Carey College in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and chemical engineering from Howard University. After having worked in environmental programs at various National Nuclear Security Administration and Department of Energy sites, Buckley provides environmental compliance support to the Lab’s Water Stewardship Program. She started her environmental career when she interned at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado, as a recipient of the DOE-sponsored Environmental Management and Career Opportunities for Minorities Fellowship. Four researchers named SIAM FellowsLaboratory scientists James “Mac” Hyman, Alan Perelson, David Sharp, and Burt Wendroff are new Fellows of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). The Fellows program honors SIAM members who are recognized by their peers as having made outstanding contributions to fields served by SIAM. Hyman of Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics was recognized for his contributions to the numerical solution of partial differential equations and modeling of biological systems. Perelson of Theoretical Biology and Biophysics was named a Fellow for his contributions to viral dynamics and other problems of mathematical biology. Sharp of the Theory, Simulation, and Computation Directorate was recognized for his research in dynamical systems, turbulence theory, and biology. Wendroff of Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics was named a Fellow for his contributions to the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Miller nominated as DOE Assistant SecretaryFormer Laboratory researcher and administrator Warren “Pete” Miller was nominated by President Obama to become director of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management for the Department of Energy. In this post, Miller would be responsible for DOE’s nuclear technology research and development, management of the department’s nuclear technology infrastructure, and support to nuclear education in the United States. Miller graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1964 and served in Vietnam. He earned a doctorate in nuclear engineering from Northwestern University in 1972 and worked at the Lab from 1974 to 2001. He is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1996. Tom Harper receives cyber security awardChief Information Officer Tom Harper received the Department of Energy’s highest cyber security honor. The Charlene Douglass Memorial Award recognizes an individual’s expertise, dedication, and significant contributions to information security. Recipients also are advocates for information security initiatives in their organizations, across DOE, and in other federal forums. Harper developed a counterintelligence cyber program and established the Inquiry Management and Analysis Capability for DOE’s Office of Counterintelligence. At the Lab, he manages an integrated risk-based information security program that protects the Laboratory’s electronic information assets. Other Headlines
