SUMMARY:In pursuit of Ignition - recent progress and directions at the
  National Ignition Facility\, Plasma Physics (Physics/ECE/NE 922) Semi
 nar\, John Edwards\, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Dr. John Edwards\, associate NIF director for inertial con
 finement fusion (ICF) and high-energy-density (HED) science\, has been
  responsible for defining the direction of ICF and HED experiments on 
 NIF. Dr. Edwards has more than 20 years of experience in laser-driven 
 ICF target physics and laboratory HED physics. He earned his Ph.D. in 
 1990 from Imperial College in London. During his graduate study\, he c
 onducted laser plasma physics experiments and developed an interest in
  simulation.<br>
\n<br>
\nDr. Edwards then joined the UK's Atomic Weap
 ons Research Establishment as a HED experimental designer. He later se
 rved as the group leader for HED physics and was responsible for defin
 ing research directions. He joined the Weapons and Complex Integration
  Directorate at LLNL in 1998\, and over the next five years\, laid muc
 h of the foundation for the HED laser program in place today. Dr. Edwa
 rds then turned his focus almost entirely to ICF\, leading groups in m
 ost aspects of the target physics\, and later serving as the ignition 
 team leader.<br>
