Podcasts about sandia labs

Ward Bower pretty much invented the modern solar industry and the grid-tied inverter. Bill Brooks, who everyone knows is another one of the greatest solar minds of all time gives Sean a hand interviewing their friend Ward Bower. Ward has had a Forrest Gump type of experience in the solar industry, being there when everything happened. He saw the founding of NABCEP, the modern grid-tied inverter, he sits on many panels writing the codes that make solar safe. Ward and Bill have been working closely together on the National Electrical Code for decades. Sean First met Ward when he was recruited for a NABCEP committee and met at Sandia Labs in New Mexico.   Ward is the nicest person with a huge heart and deserves a lot more nice things to be said about him than what we are saying about him here.   For those of you listening to this podcast far in the future, after we are long gone, do your best to use this recording to make an AI version of Ward.   This podcast was recorded on the Suncast Media stage during NABCEP Conference in Reno in 2025!   Topics covered: History of PV Industry = Photovoltaics NEC = National Electrical Code Ungrounded Systems Power Conditioning Systems Power Control Systems Article 690 Line Commutated Control Technologies UL IEEE = Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Microgrid NABCEP = North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners Inverter with Rotating Equipment in it   Reach out to Ward Bower & Bill Brooks Here: Ward Bower's Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/ward-bower Bill Brooks' Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/bill-brooks   Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean's classes at www.heatspring.com/sean   This podcast is a special release in honor of the godfather of the modern solar revolution Hermann Scheer.

Dr. Justin Quinn Olmstead is a historian for Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  His most recent book “From Nuclear Weapons to Global Security: 75 Years of Research and Development at Sandia National Laboratories.”  Dr. Robert Oppenheimer helped launch the Sandia Labs, which is an engineering laboratory for the nation's nuclear deterrence. President Harry Truman was directly involved in setting up the Lab, whereas President Eisenhower initiated the Plowshare Program to explore the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and the Atoms for Peace program in 1957.  Sandia supports global security by working with US agencies, the UN's IAEA, and several of the United Nations treaties, such as the Non-Proliferation Treaty that focuses on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to avoid nuclear proliferation.   Sandia has been “ hands-on” in helping mitigate the BP Oil Spill, Fukushima Disaster, Challenger explosion, the rapidly devastating climate crisis and the 9-11 destruction.

Dr Humphreys retired from Sandia Labs in 2001 to work full-time for the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) where he was appointed an Associate Professor of Physics. In this time, he operated mainly from his home office in Albuquerque, NM, USA, while still continuing to write... The post Dr. Russell Humphreys appeared first on ABQ Connect.

All around us are sounds that we cannot hear that are capable of traveling over extreme distances, even around the Earth. Just like regular sounds, these sounds carry information about what made them. This is how you could be blindfolded and still know where someone is in the room if they are talking. Oklahoma State University professor Dr. Brian Elbing and his team has been listening to these sounds for six years with some of the detections being from explosions, earthquakes, fireballs, and tornadoes. Tornadoes have been the primary focus, with the goal being to determine what exactly produces the sound and whether it can be used to improve warnings. More recently, they have begun listening for earthquakes from high altitude balloons as part of a collaboration with NASA JPL and Sandia Labs. This work uses Earth has a model for Venus to see it could be used to study the structure of Venus, which is too hot to have any sensors on the surface. In this episode, Meghan Robinson speaks with Dr. Elbing to learn more about how we can use infrasound to improve tornado warnings.

During this time of lockdown, the centre for quantum software and information (QSI) at the University of Technology Sydney has launched an online seminar series. With talks once or twice a week from leading researchers in the field, meQuanics is supporting this series by mirroring the audio from each talk. I would encourage if you listen to this episode, to visit and subscribe to the UTS:QSI YouTube page to see each of these talks with the associated slides to help it make more sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1We-MpoJlM&t=5s SEMINAR 1 TITLE: Understanding Crosstalk in Quantum Processors SPEAKER: A/Prof Robin Blume-Kohout AFFILIATION: Quantum Performance Lab, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico HOSTED BY: A/Prof Chris Ferrie, UTS Centre for Quantum Software and Information ABSTRACT: Multi-qubit quantum processors fail – i.e., deviate from ideal behavior – in many ways. One of the most important, especially as the number of qubits grows, is crosstalk. But “crosstalk” refers to a wide range of distinct phenomena. In this talk, I will present a precise and rigorous framework that we have developed for defining and classifying crosstalk errors, and compare it to existing ad hoc definitions. Then, I will present two protocols that we are deploying to detect and characterize crosstalk, and show how we are using them to break down and demystify the error behavior of testbed-class quantum processors in the wild. SEMINAR 2 TITLE: Hold the onion: using fewer circuits to characterize your qubits SPEAKER: Dr Erik Nielsen AFFILIATION: Quantum Performance Lab, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico HOSTED BY: A/Prof Chris Ferrie, UTS Centre for Quantum Software and Information ABSTRACT: Model-based quantum tomography protocols like gate set tomography optimize a noise model with some number of parameters in order to fit experimental data. As the number of qubits increases, two issues emerge: 1) the number of model parameters grows, and 2) the cost of propagating quantum states (density matrices) increases exponentially. The first issue can be addressed by considering reduced models that limit errors to being low-weight and geometrically local. In this talk, we focus on the second issue and present a method for performing approximate density matrix propagation based on perturbative expansions of error generators. The method is tailored to the likelihood optimization problem faced by model-based tomography protocols. We will discuss the advantages and drawbacks of using this method when characterizing the errors in up to 8-qubit systems.

Seventy thousand years ago, humans migrated on foot across the ancient continent of Sahul — the landmass that has since split up into  Australia and New Guinea. Mapping the journeys of these ancient voyagers is no small task: previous efforts to understand prehistoric migrations relied on coarse estimates based on genomic studies or on spotty records of recovered artifacts.Now, progress in the fields of geographic information system mapping and agent-based modeling can help archaeologists run massive simulations that explore all likely paths across a landscape, bridging the view from orbit with thoughtful models of prehistoric peoples and how they moved through space.The new research expands our scientific understanding of how ritual and story encode vital geographic features, and sheds light on how our modern world is the product of deep, ancient forces.Agent-based modeling in archaeology can also help save lives by improving science communication, empowering stakeholders in cultural resource management, and facilitating better international planning and coordination as the climate crisis looms…Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I'm your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we'll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week we talk with Stefani Crabtree, SFI Fellow and Assistant Professor in Socio-Environmental Modeling at Utah State University, and Devin White, R&D Manager for Autonomous Sensing & Perception at Sandia National Laboratories. Stefani and Devin are the first two authors on the recent Nature Human Behaviour paper, Landscape rules predict optimal superhighways for the first peopling of Sahul, a project at the bleeding edge of agent-based modeling for archaeology that simulated over 125 billion potential ancient migratory routes.In our conversation, we discuss bringing advanced technologies to bear on research into human prehistory; the ways humans make sense of space; how our minds and landscapes inform each other; and the ways agent-based modeling might help avert disaster for the sedentary populations of our century.If you value our research and communication efforts, please subscribe to Complexity Podcast wherever you prefer to listen, rate and review us at Apple Podcasts, and/or consider making a donation at santafe.edu/podcastgive.

It's the first episode of The Twisted Podcast. We are super excited to bring you interviews with working artists living in the real world as well as experimental segments and anything of interest we can pack into an episode. The podcast is hosted by Larry Lines and Troy Winscott with other artists sitting in when available. In this episode, we try out a segment called 'I Hate Art' where we discuss an emergency handbook that has been lying around the studio for as long as anyone can remember. It doesn't go anywhere, but we have to start somewhere... Also, we interview Steven Winscott. Steven is a Production Artist from Kansas City, MO. While spending many years biding his time and honing his craft in Kansas City, Steven always hoped that he would be able to pursue his dreams. In 2016, opportunity knocked in the form of Modern Mosaics in Houston, TX, so Steven took the leap. Steven worked for Jonathan Brown at Modern Mosaics as the Assistant Production Manager on some monumental public art installations including the Electric Waterfall in Madison, WI. Steven has since moved on to other projects that align with his ambitions at Big Myth where he is a Production Artist. Steven's two main projects at Big Myth: Urban Weeds - a skateboard art and clothing line to be released later this year. Two Loves Have I - a re-imagining of a 40's comic book in the Darling Love series.

Join Investigative Filmmaker Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell as he interviews Engineering Physicist, Dr. Robert Krangle. Dr. Krangle (PHD) is an Albuquerque based scientist, who received his doctorate from MIT in 1973 in semi-conductor physics. Krangle has been an engineering consultant to Sandia Labs in Albuquerque and Los Alamos since 1980. He still works at both places from time to time. He has at least 50 US patents and is the man who invented the laser range finder that is now used in police traffic radar units. He has worked on heat-seeking missile technology for the military, and has helped invent the laser micrometer. Dr. Krangle is a “problem solver”, a “left-field” guy. So here's where it gets interesting… He’s NOT a UFO guy… he’s strictly a scientist who worked at Los Alamos. And he also happened to go into great detail regarding Bob Lazar, as he remembers “Bob the Nuclear Physicist” from Los Alamos in the 1980’s. He said, “We all knew Bob committed professional suicide when he told about what he was working on for the military”. More importantly, Dr. Krangle made it clear that he met Lazar, knew Lazar professionally, and that Lazar was present at security briefings at Los Alamos (not something a janitor would be included in).
