Laboratory Director Thomas Zacharia presented five Director’s Awards during Saturday night's annual Awards Night event hosted by UT-Battelle, which manages ORNL for the Department of Energy.
Over the past seven years, researchers in ORNL’s Geospatial Science and Human Security Division have mapped and characterized all structures within the United States and its territories to aid FEMA in its response to disasters.
Using existing experimental and computational resources, a multi-institutional team has developed an effective method for measuring high-dimensional qudits encoded in quantum frequency combs, which are a type of photon source, on a single optical chip.
The Earth System Grid Federation, a multi-agency initiative that gathers and distributes data for top-tier projections of the Earth’s climate, is preparing a series of upgrades.
Gang Seob “GS” Jung has known from the time he was in middle school that he was interested in science.
Daniel Claudino studies the software development of libraries that enable large-scale quantum-classical heterogeneous computations. In this role, Daniel targets quantum simulations of interest in quantum chemistry.
Two years after ORNL provided a model of nearly every building in America, commercial partners are using the tool for tasks ranging from designing energy-efficient buildings and cities to linking energy efficiency to real estate value and risk.
Ali Passian studies the physics of sensing and imaging. In this role, Ali explores how new or better sensors can be developed to enable higher sensitivity, detection limit, and resolution for studying complex materials.
Warren Grice studies aspects of quantum information with a focus on optical approaches. In this role, Warren is involved in several projects aimed at transitioning the capabilities of quantum information to real-world applications.
John Serafini studies integrated photonics for developing secure quantum communications hardware. In this role, John simulates, designs and tests quantum-based photonic integrated circuits.
