Guest Scientist from January 2008 to present
In the Theoretical (T) Division (from 2004 to present), assessed the uncertainties in neutron cross sections derived from experimental measurements. Developed methods to deal with systematic uncertainties in cross-section normalization, and data sets that disagree with each other in terms of their normalization.
In the Computer and Computational Sciences (CCS) Division (from 2001 to 2004), worked on a methodology for quantifying the uncertainties in simulation-code predictions, and on the first Advanced Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) validation milestone. Organized several conferences including the Quantification of Uncertainties in Physics Simulations (LANL, Sept. 2002) and the SPIE Medical Imaging Symposium (San Diego, February 2002, 2003, and 2004).
In the Dynamic Testing (M) Division, now called DX-Division
(from 1980 to 2001) studied problems in computed tomography, coded apertures, restoration of blurred images, quantitative analysis of radiographs, characterization of image quality, 3D tomographic reconstruction using deformable geometric models, and verification and validation of simulation codes. Co-developer of the Bayes Inference Engine, the principle analysis tool for quantitative interpretation of dynamic radiographs acquired in DX Division and at the Atomic Weapons Establishemnt in the United Kingdom.
In Meson Physics Division (1975 - 1980) supervised experiments to demonstrate feasibility, dose advantage, and imaging characteristics of proton computed tomography. Developed methods for characterizing image quality and established the quantitative connection between them and the performance of visual tasks. Helped develop visualizaiton techniques for pion therapy. Participated in experiments to accurately measure multiple-Coulomb-scattering distributions.
