    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]

    Education[edit]

    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]

    Career[edit]

    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]

    Honors and awards[edit]

    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.[18]
