SE PH.D ALUMNUS AWARDED DIRECTOR'S-FUNDED POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
Wednesday, September 26 2012
SE Ph.D. alumnus Erik Moro (2012) has been awarded a Director's-Funded Postdoctoral position at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The Director's-Funded postdoc program is the most prestigious one at Los Alamos, where only 3-5 are awarded quarterly in an extremely competitive process. Awardees of this two-year fellowship receive their funding directly from the National Laboratory's Office of Directed Research and Development, and this guaranteed and project-independent source of funding provides a tremendous degree of flexibility in the research that a Director's-Funded Fellow may choose to pursue. Erik's dissertation under Professor Michael Todd was entitled "Modeling and Validation of Performance Limitations for the Optimal Design of Interferometric and Intensity-Modulated Fiber Optic Displacement Sensors", and he will be continuing and expanding this work in his new position with WX-4: DARHT Experiments and Diagnostics. Erik joins two previous structural health monitoring group Ph.D. alumni, David Mascarenas (2008) and Eric Flynn (2010) in receiving this prestigious postdoctoral position. Congratulations to all three for their incredible achievement!
