John Fulton is a manager at Sandia National Laboratories where he has worked for the last two decades. During his time at Sandia John led the development of the Turbo FRMAC software and gained expertise in Health Physics, Emergency Response, and the methodologies and operation of the Federal Radiological Management and Assessment Center. John also led the development of the Sandia Hazard Assessment Response Capability (SHARC) where he developed expertise in atmospheric transport and dispersion of radioactive source terms and fallout as well as prompt nuclear effects. John recently led the development of the Launch Safety Atmospheric Transport and Consequence group where he applied his expertise in dynamic plume rise, health physics, atmospheric transport and dispersion to assess the potential impacts of a launch failure for the Mars 2020 launch.

Biography

Michael Wang is an Argonne National Laboratory Distinguished Fellow, Senior Scientist, and Director of the Systems Assessment Center of the Energy Systems division. He has been with Argonne since 1993. Dr. Wang’s research areas include:

• Evaluation of energy and environmental impacts of vehicle technologies, transportation fuels, and energy systems 
• Assessment of the market potentials of new vehicle and fuel technologies
• Examination of transportation development trends in emerging economies

Michael Wang has led the development and applications of Argonne’s GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies) model for life-cycle analysis of advanced vehicle technologies, transportation fuels, and other energy systems. His work in the life-cycle analysis area has been used by government agencies and industries and cited extensively in research and academic fields. As of 2019, there are more than 40,000 registered GREET users worldwide. Dr. Wang has worked closely with governmental agencies, automotive companies, energy companies, universities, research institutions, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the United States, China, Brazil, Canada, Japan, and Europe to address energy and environmental issues related to the transportation sector and energy systems.

Jointly, Dr. Wang is a faculty associate in the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago and a senior fellow in the Northwestern Argonne Institute of Science and Engineering of Northwestern University. He is a guest professor in China’s Shanghai Jiaotong University. He is an associate editor of Biotechnology for Biofuels and on the editorial boards of Automotive Innovation, Frontiers of Energy and Power Engineering in China, and Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Changes. He has more than 270 publications.

Nhan Tran is a Wilson Fellow at Fermilab working on the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the Large Hadron Collider and is also developing new dark sector experimental initiatives. He is generally interested in deploying machine learning as a powerful tool across fundamental physics. His recent research focus is on the intersection of machine learning with real-time systems and embedded electronics as well as heterogeneous computing to improve experimental efficiency and sensitivity. He received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 2011 and was a postdoctoral researcher at Fermilab prior to joining in his current position.

Areas of expertise: ML Algorithms for Data Reconstruction and Pattern Recognition; Real-Time Low-Latency ML in Resource-Constrained Environments; Heterogeneous Computing
