ABSTRACT

Born out of the Manhattan Project, Sandia National Laboratories has a long history of innovation in materials science and engineering to meet mission critical needs. Sandia’s core mission is to advance technology to ensure global peace. With such broad aspirations, Sandia must utilize extensive facilities to create and analyze novel materials to produce innovative electronic and optical material solutions for a variety of applications. To support our energy security goals Sandia is producing lower temperature sodium batteries for grid scale storage. To reduce the price of NH3 and thus make fertilizer less expensive, Sandia is producing novel catalysts to reduce the temperature of nitrogen reduction reactions. For global access to clean water, Sandia is developing chlorine tolerant graphene oxide desalination membranes. Sandia also drives towards fundamental understanding of novel materials like metamaterials for better optical detectors or thermal sprayed coatings for environmental protection. An overview of Sandia’s work in these areas and more will be presented as well as opportunities at Sandia for students and collaboration.

About Andrew Belton: Andrew Belton is Assistant Professor in the Department of English - Oklahoma State University. His book project, “Hip Hop Illiterate: Hermeneutics for the Future of Literary Theory and Criticism,” puts the aesthetic techniques and critical reading practices of the hip hop emcee at the center of a millennial theory of African American literature and cultural criticism. His study places Rakim, Nas, and Lauryn Hill in critical conversation with canonical black writers such as Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Alice Walker.

Writers on Greenwood celebrates writers of color and Indigenous writers and adds to the cultural life of Tulsa in service to the outreach mission of Oklahoma State University. Through craft talks and public readings, Writers on Greenwood engages voices from the community and strives for greater inclusivity in the literary arts.
