From struggling student to renowned leader in applied mathematics 👏 Congratulations to Sandia’s Richard Lehoucq for being inducted as a fellow into the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). In his 27 years at Sandia, Richard has published more than 75 papers, co-authored a book and presented at international conferences. “I love being able to express complex mathematical ideas in a simple, clean and neat way,” Richard said. “I wasn’t a good K-12 student and don’t do well on standardized tests, but I have resilience and I’m flattered that colleagues half my age are willing to collaborate with me.” Read more about Richard’s accomplishments: https://bit.ly/4duHBVD

Swifter simulations for modern science. All of it. 💡 Researchers from Sandia and Brown University introduce a universal way to accelerate virtually any kind of simulation using machine-learning algorithms. The team outlines how the simulator could speed up computer programs for everything from self-driving vehicle navigation to climate change research, in a recently published paper. “From a user standpoint, there’s no difference between running your simulation tool or running this accelerated simulation tool. It gives you exactly the same predictions. The difference is how much time it takes to get those results,” Sandia scientist Rémi Dingreville said. Learn more 👉https://bit.ly/4dKUPNW

No GPS? No problem. 🧭 For the first time, Sandia researchers performed a quantum sensing technique called atom interferometry, an ultra-precise way of providing accurate navigation when GPS signals are unavailable. “Accurate navigation becomes a challenge in real-world scenarios when GPS signals are unavailable,” said Sandia scientist Jongmin Lee. “By harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics, these advanced sensors provide unparalleled accuracy in measuring acceleration and angular velocity, enabling precise navigation even in GPS-denied areas.” Read more about the technology: https://bit.ly/4dtirXu

Making wind energy more efficient 💨 Sandia researchers developed a 3D-printed wind turbine blade tip that improves aerodynamic performance and reduces repair costs, by making it easier to replace the blade after damage like lightning strikes. “This is the first step to a future where blades can be manufactured in the field, on demand,” said Brent Houchens, a researcher on the project. This innovative project is a collaboration with Wetzel Wind Energy Services and Stratasys Direct Inc. Read more about the project: https://bit.ly/46RRgTO

Sandia researchers and Nichia Corporation are partnering to build the world’s most accurate compact atomic clock. Even the most advanced clocks lose accuracy over time. This clock “drift” limits how long important technologies can be deployed before needing to be resynchronized. The project relies on small laser technology and would improve applications ranging from GPS receivers to satellites. Read more 👉 https://bit.ly/3M8NN9U
