Dr. Alvin Trivelpiece, retired Director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), former Executor Officer of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and former Director of the Office of Energy Research, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has also been a professor of physics and a corporate executive. Throughout his varied career, Dr. Trivelpiece's research focused on plasma physics, controlled thermonuclear research, and particle accelerators. He has several patents on accelerators and microwave devices. ==Education and career== 1953—B.S. California Polytechnic State University 1955—M.S. California Institute of Technology 1958—Ph.D. California Institute of Technology 1958 – 1959 – Fulbright Scholar in the Netherlands 1959 – 1966—Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of California, Berkeley 1966 – 1976—Professor of Physics, University of Maryland 1967 – Guggenheim Fellow 1973 – 1975—Assistant Director for Fusion Research, Division of Controlled Thermonuclear Research, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (on leave from the University of Maryland) 1976 – 1978—Vice-president for engineering and research, Maxwell Laboratories, San Diego, CA 1978 – 1981—Corporate Vice-president, Science Applications, Inc., La Jolla, CA 1979 - Trivelpiece co-founded the Fusion Power Associates with Stephen O. Dean and Nicholas Krall a fusion advocacy organization.〔http://fusionpower.org〕 1981 – 1987—Director of the Office of Energy Research, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) During his early years as Director of the DOE Office of Energy Research, Dr. Trivelpiece planned multiple major DOE facilities, including the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (TJNAF), and what would become the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). He was responsible for laying the groundwork for what has become the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). As a result of reports proposing the project and outlining its scope provided to him by Charles DeLisi, Associate Director of Energy Research for Health and Environmental Research, in Fiscal Year 1987 Dr. Trivelpiece supported, through the use of reprogrammed funds at DOE, the beginnings that led to the Human Genome Project. An April 1987 DOE's Office of Health and Environmental Research (OHER) Health and Environmental Research Advisory Committee (HERAC) report recommended that DOE and the nation commit to a large, multidisciplinary, scientific, and technological undertaking to map and sequence the human genome. Earmarked spending began in Fiscal Year 1988 when the Human Genome Project was established by congressional action at both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and DOE. The chart used in the Spring of 1986 by Alvin W. Trivelpiece, Director of the Office of Energy Research in the Department of Energy, to brief Deputy Secretary William F. Martin and Under Secretary Joseph Salgado regarding his intention to reprogram $4 million to initiate the Department’s Human Genome Project is available here (). This reprogramming was followed by a line item budget of $16 million the following year. This modest effort triggered the activities that led to the sequencing of the Human Genome. A letter from then Department of Energy Deputy Secretary William Flynn Martin accrediting these achievements to Dr. Trivelpiece can be seen here (). A speech given to the American Physical Society in 2005 by Dr. Trivelpiece on DOE's role in such major project can be seen here () as well as his article on the same subject in the Fall 2005 Forum on the History of Physics Newsletter, which can be seen here (). April 1987 – January 1989—Executive Officer, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) January 1989 – March 2000—Director, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN, where he was responsible for programs that included applied research and engineering development in support of the Department of Energy's fusion, fission, conservation, and fossil energy technology programs.〔 1989 – 1995—Vice-president, Martin Marietta Energy Systems 1996 – 2000 President, Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corporation Beginning in May 2000, Dr. Trivelpiece was advisor to and/or chaired workshops/committees for several government laboratories and agencies, including Sandia National Laboratories and DOE's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI). Workshops chaired for DOE OSTI were in May 2000 and February 2007. The former considered issues related to communication, dissemination, and use of information in the physical sciences and made recommendations for increasing the productivity of the scientific enterprise in the United States. The latter focused on strategies to accelerate the spread of knowledge about science and technology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alvin Trivelpiece」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
