David Page, head of the Geographic Data Science Section at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, leads with a focus on judgment, collaboration and empowering teams. Drawing on experience in academia, entrepreneurship and national security science, he has helped advance faster, scalable geospatial analysis while building resilient, forward-looking research teams.
Ross E. Blevins, a 98-year-old veteran and nuclear researcher, contributed to early nuclear science at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and later helped develop TVA’s first nuclear power plants. In 2026, he returned to ORNL to reflect on his remarkable career and experiences.
Army Major Mike Ecklund is currently embedded at ORNL through the Army’s Training with Industry program. At the lab, he works with scientists to study the behavior of nuclear materials in long-term storage, translating research findings into practical insights.
Yongtao Liu is an R&D staff member at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS). In the Data NanoAnalytics Group, he is helping nanomaterials research move toward experiments that can run with far less handholding.
Rebecca Wilkes, an ORNL synthetic biologist and UT-ORII Fellow, engineers microbes to convert biomass and waste into valuable chemicals. Her work aims to advance efficient biomanufacturing and support a domestic bioeconomy.
Nina Gottschling is a Wigner Fellow at ORNL whose research focuses on uncertainty quantification, inverse problems, and photonic quantum computing, with an emphasis on mathematical accuracy bounds for AI and scientific computing. She bridges rigorous mathematics, simulation and experiment to advance computational and quantum technologies.
Sean Turner, a senior engineer at ORNL, uses large-sample deep learning and hydrology models to predict river temperatures nationwide and assess their impacts on interconnected hydropower and nuclear operations, despite limited observational data. His work focuses on integrating river and power grid models to improve energy reliability, inform infrastructure siting and support water–energy decision-making.
Brian Anderson has led ORNL's Enrichment Science and Engineering Division since 2020, overseeing work in enrichment technologies and stable isotope production. The division supports national needs across security, research, medicine and industry while expanding its technical capabilities and workforce.
What began as a plan to teach in a classroom eventually brought Shannon Cass to ORNL, where she teaches in a different way — by helping others understand the importance of security. As security operations lead for the Enrichment Science and Engineering Division, she works to protect both people and information while supporting the lab’s mission.
Emory Collins’ six-decade career at ORNL began in 1965 and spanned major advances in isotope production, nuclear fuel cycle research, and national responses such as the Three Mile Island cleanup. As the lab’s longest-serving full-time employee, he continues to apply his deep technical expertise to modern isotope challenges, mentoring colleagues and contributing to programs that shape the nation’s nuclear science capabilities.
