September 1992 - July 2001
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - Deputy Program Leader for the Proliferation Prevention and Arms
Control Program. Formulated and executed technical activities, developed long range plans, and administered
personnel activities. Primary technical focus was helping to establish commercially viable, non-weapons related,
technically challenging employment for scientists and engineers formerly employed in the Former Soviet Union
nuclear weapons institutes. For example, facilitated the transfer of a state-of-the-art accident reconstruction
simulation to former employees of a Russian nuclear weapons design institute to permit them to have employment
reconstructing domestic Russian transportation accidents. Goal was to mitigate the probability that former weapons
scientists and engineers would sell their expertise to nations and other groups of proliferation concern to the United
States. Also responsible for Environmental, Safety, and Health issues in the Program.
June 1981 - September 1992
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - Group Leader of the Theater Applications Group. Responsible for allocation
of resources, establishment of standards, and providing scientific leadership for a technical group that conducted
systems analyses pertinent to non-strategic weapons systems and also developed item level battlefield computer
simulations for the US military community. Provided technical advice to the Department of Defense and other US
Government agencies with respect to all matters relating to non-strategic nuclear and conventional weapons systems.
Duties included responsibility for safety and health issues for the entire Division.
September 1979 - June 1981
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - On assignment to the Office of the Secretary of Defense in the Pentagon,
Washington, D.C. as a Staff Analyst for Strategic Arms Assessment. Responsible for technical development and
analytic evaluations of strategic nuclear arms limitations options on which formulation of US Government approaches
to strategic arms limitations were made. Responsible for development of Office of Secretary of Defense position on
future Special Nuclear Material requirements and preparation of interagency paper for Presidential Decision on this
issue. Provided expert advice to the White House on matters related to nuclear weapons, including safety aspects
of the stockpile.
November 1977 - September 1979
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - Project Manager for Air Force/Air Carried Weapons in the Military
Requirements Office. Responsible for all Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory pre-engineering nuclear weapons
development activities related to air carried systems. Responsible for marshalling best efforts of the Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory weapons program in developing data for conceptual systems for submission to the
US Air Force. Represented Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to the Department of Defense, their contractors,
and other Department of Energy laboratories and offices. Participated in interagency working groups that addressed
the safety requirements of weapons systems.
April 1976 - November 1977
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - W70 Project Manager. Responsible for all research and development
activities necessary to prepare the W70-3 nuclear warhead for production. Responsible for ensuring the warhead
satisfied military requirements, including the satisfaction of safety requirements for the entire lifetime of the weapon
system, such as during transportation in benign and hostile environments. Represented Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory to the US Army, other Department of Energy installations, and all other agencies and contractors in all
matters relative to the W70. Concurrently, responsible for the W70-3 nuclear design and conduction of necessary
nuclear tests.
August 1972 - April 1976
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - Nuclear weapons design Group Leader. Responsible for specific nuclear
weapons designs and calculations of the output of weapons. Designed warheads for several US nuclear weapons
systems, and participated in design of warheads for other systems. Participated in numerous interagency working
groups.
September 1968 - August 1972
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - Theoretical Physicist. Worked on specific basic problems in statistical
mechanics, plasma physics, and laser effects. Concurrently performed calculations relevant to specific nuclear
weapons designs.
October 1966 - September 1968
University of Maryland Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Applied Mathematics - Research Associate. Conducted
basic research in theoretical physics.
