Dr. Arianna Gleason is a Senior Staff Scientist and Deputy Director for the High Energy Density Science Division in the Fundamental Physics Directorate at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Adjunct Faculty in the Doerr School of Sustainability, Earth and Planetary Science Department, Stanford University. She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 2010 working on high pressure mineral physics and planetary sciences. She was the Frederick Reines and Director’s Postdoctoral Fellows at the Los Alamos National Laboratory from Shock and Detonation Physics where she focused on dynamic mesoscale materials properties. Her research spans geo- and planetary-science to inertial fusion energy science by applying ultrafast X-ray probes to dynamic materials processes. She received the DOE Early Career Award, 2019, was the LaserNetUS Proposal Review Panel Chair from 2021-2024, and was a recent DOE Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program (OSELP) Fellow in Cohort 7, 2024.
