John Louis Sarrao (born February 1, 1967)[ citation needed] is an American physicist. He was the deputy director for science, technology, and engineering at Los Alamos National Laboratory. [1] [2] As of 2 October 2023, he became the sixth director of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory [3]
In 1993, Sarrao received his PhD in physics from the University of California Los Angeles following a M.S. in physics from UCLA in 1991 and a B.S. in physics from Stanford University in 1989. [4] [5]
He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; [6] the American Physical Society; [7][ circular reference] [8] and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. [9]
He is the principal architect of LANL’s Dynamic Mesoscale Material Science Capability (DMMSC). [10] [11]
He is a board member of the Technology Research Collaborative (TRC). [12]
Sarrao's research includes quantum computing. [13]
On June 7, 2018, Sarrao presented Congressional Testimony for the House Science, Space & Technology Committee Subcommittee on Energy on topics including electric grid research and big data. [14]
In 2013, he was awarded the United States Department of Energy’s Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for his research in Condensed Matter and Materials Science: “For the discovery and study of new materials, especially those based on Plutonium, advancing understanding of unconventional magnetic and superconducting states in strongly correlated f-electron condensed matter systems.” [15]
He was honored for his discovery and study of new materials, especially those based on Plutonium, that advance understanding of novel magnetic and superconducting states in strongly correlated f-electron condensed matter systems. [16] [17] The complexity of strongly correlated materials, resulting from coupling among charge, spin, and lattice degrees-of-freedom, allows the emergence of new states and new phenomena, helping promote the development of useful and novel functional materials.
