John L. Sarrao
John Louis Sarrao (born February 1, 1967) is an American physicist. He is the deputy director for science, technology, and engineering at Los Alamos National Laboratory.[1][2]
Education
In 1993, Sarrao received his PhD in Physics from the University of California Los Angeles following a M.S. in Physics from UCLA in 1991 and a B.S. in Physics from Stanford University in 1989.[3][4]
He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science;[5] the American Physical Society;[6][7] and the Los Alamos National Laboratory.[8]
Career
He is the principal architect of LANL’s Dynamic Mesoscale Material Science Capability (DMMSC).[9][10]
He is a board member of the Technology Research Collaborative (TRC).[11]
Sarrao's research includes quantum computing.[12]
On June 7, 2018, Sarrao presented Congressional Testimony for the House Science, Space & Technology Committee Subcommittee on Energy on topics including electric grid research and big data.[13]
Honors and awards
In 2013, he was awarded the United States Department of Energy’s Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for his research in Condensed Matter and Materials Science: “For the discovery and study of new materials, especially those based on Plutonium, advancing understanding of unconventional magnetic and superconducting states in strongly correlated f-electron condensed matter systems.”[14]
He was honored for his discovery and study of new materials, especially those based on Plutonium, that advance understanding of novel magnetic and superconducting states in strongly correlated f-electron condensed matter systems.[15][16] The complexity of strongly correlated materials, resulting from coupling among charge, spin, and lattice degrees-of-freedom, allows the emergence of new states and new phenomena, helping promote the development of useful and novel functional materials.[17]
