SUMMARY:In pursuit of Ignition - recent progress and directions at the
National Ignition Facility\, Plasma Physics (Physics/ECE/NE 922) Semi
nar\, John Edwards\, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Dr. John Edwards\, associate NIF director for inertial con
finement fusion (ICF) and high-energy-density (HED) science\, has been
responsible for defining the direction of ICF and HED experiments on
NIF. Dr. Edwards has more than 20 years of experience in laser-driven
ICF target physics and laboratory HED physics. He earned his Ph.D. in
1990 from Imperial College in London. During his graduate study\, he c
onducted laser plasma physics experiments and developed an interest in
simulation.
\n
\nDr. Edwards then joined the UK's Atomic Weap
ons Research Establishment as a HED experimental designer. He later se
rved as the group leader for HED physics and was responsible for defin
ing research directions. He joined the Weapons and Complex Integration
Directorate at LLNL in 1998\, and over the next five years\, laid muc
h of the foundation for the HED laser program in place today. Dr. Edwa
rds then turned his focus almost entirely to ICF\, leading groups in m
ost aspects of the target physics\, and later serving as the ignition
team leader.
