Los Alamos chief to give global security lecture
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The director of Los Alamos National Laboratory will give this year’s Distinguished Global Security Lecture at the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy.
The free public lecture by Charles F. McMillan will look at how the previous century’s innovations are being used to solve today’s security, energy and environmental issues. McMillan will also pose the question of whether today’s technology is preparing us for the next century.
According to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, McMillan is a nuclear physicist with more than 30 years of experience in weapons science, stockpile certification, experimental physics and computational science. He has earned two awards of excellence from the U.S. Department of Energy and holds four patents.
