Leaving the ASC Program
Des Pilkington will be starting a one-year temporary assignment at AWE in the UK in November where he will perform research as part of ASC’s new Thermonuclear Burn Initiative (TBI). Des has been the tri-lab lead for the TBI since Dimitri Kusnezov kicked off the initiative in the spring. For the last four years, Des has been the Deputy Associate Program Leader for Computational Physics in LLNL’s B-Program assisting Tom Adams in leading nuclear performance simulation code development.
Tom Adams, a central figure in the ASC Program since its inception, retired from LLNL in September. Most recently Tom was LLNL’s ASC Integrated Codes co-leader and Associate Program Leader for Computational Physics in B-Program responsible for nuclear performance simulation code development. Prior to coming to LLNL in 1998, Tom had a long, distinguished career at Los Alamos National Laboratory where he was one of the founders of ASCI.
