Damian Rouson: Head of the CLaSS
Meet Damian Rouson, head of CRD’s Computer Languages & Systems Software (CLaSS) group. Although his career at the Lab is only about a month old, Rouson’s history with Berkeley Lab goes back nearly 20 years. In fact, he credits interactions at Berkeley Lab for inspiring him to write a popular programming book and start a successful consulting business. Read More »
CIGAR 'Smokes Out' Attacks on Solar Electrical Power Equipment
While the need for security in the power grid is clear, cybersecurity has typically been “bolted on” in a piecemeal fashion after the fact, rather than designed in from the outset. Enter the Cybersecurity via Inverter-Grid Automatic Reconfiguration (CIGAR) project, a recently completed Berkeley Lab effort aimed at providing security protections for emerging power systems.

Welcome Monica Hernandez, Quantum Communications Lead
Monica Hernandez has joined Berkeley Lab in the newly created role of quantum communications lead. Hernandez has traveled extensively and is an advocate for space travel, research, and exploration in her spare time. She sits in CRD's Quantum Information Science and Technology group. Read More »
Limit global warming to 1.5°C and halve the land ice contribution to sea level this century
A new study predicts that sea-level rise could be halved this century (from today to 2100) if we meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. This work combines nearly 900 simulations, including some of Berkeley Lab Computational Scientist Dan Martin's BISICLES models of Antarctic ice sheets. Read More »
Autonomous Discovery Workshop Attracts Worldwide Interest
