Newswise — OAK RIDGE, Tenn., July 2, 2015 -- Nancy J. Dudney, Lonnie J. Love and David C. Radford have been named Corporate Fellows at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The Corporate Fellow designation recognizes the researchers' significant accomplishments and continuing leadership in their scientific, engineering and technological fields. With this latest addition, the number of active Corporate Fellows at ORNL is now 27 researchers.
"Nancy, Lonnie and David illustrate ORNL's range of research from the most basic investigations of matter, represented by David's work in physics, to the applied materials technologies represented by Nancy's advanced battery research and Lonnie's expertise in advanced manufacturing. Their achievements certainly qualify them to join the ranks of our Corporate Fellows," ORNL Director Thom Mason said.
Dudney's career has focused on battery technologies, most recently in research on novel materials for hybrid vehicle batteries and the synthesis and properties of ceramic films by magnetron sputtering. The UT-Battelle Distinguished Inventor has also studied the properties and fabrication of thin-film rechargeable batteries and composite films.
Dudney, who came to ORNL as a Eugene P. Wigner Fellow and now works in ORNL's Materials Science and Technology Division, is a fellow of the Electrochemical Society, winner of four R&D 100 Awards and three Federal Laboratory Consortium Awards for Excellence in Technology Transfer. She holds a doctorate in ceramics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Love's research has most recently focused on additive manufacturing, specifically large-scale and high-speed advanced manufacturing and 3-D printing. Other research areas include nanofermentation -- the bacterial synthesis of nanomaterials for "quantum dots" -- and in blending additive manufacturing with fluid-powered systems toward lightweight, high-dexterity and low-cost prosthetics.
Love holds a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He works in ORNL's Energy and Transportation Science Division. During the past year Love's activities have included demonstrating a 3-D printed sports car for President Obama and Vice President Biden and prominent roles in ORNL's support of FIRST Robotics and the Wounded Warrior - Veterans Association.
Radford has studied the precision measurement and properties of unstable nuclei during his career in ORNL's Physics Division, particularly at the former Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility. He leads ORNL's role in the Majorana Demonstrator Project to study the feasibility of a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in germanium-76 and is a principal leader in the GRETA/GRETINA next-generation germanium detector array.
A native of New Zealand, Radford holds a doctorate from the University of Auckland. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, an adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina and has more than 250 publications in refereed journals.
UT-Battelle manages ORNL for the Department of Energy's Office of Science. The Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
