Co-Project Manager
Biography
As senior manager of the Climate Science and Analysis Group at Sandia, Ben provides leadership and management direction for Sandia’s core climate research and development (R&D) programs. Ben oversees three departments with ~30 researchers engaged in lab and field research spanning climate modeling, water resource analysis, and atmospheric science. He leads Sandia’s climate programs funded by the DOE Office of Science’s Biological and Environmental Research program. Ben also leads Sandia’s Arctic research initiative, including North Slope operations in Alaska. As a co-project manager, Ben will help the team partner with Sandia program leads to engage government stakeholders, positioning CLDERA for robust follow-on funding.
