Mary Hockaday Email: mhockaday@lanl.gov

Division Leader of NUCLEAR ENGINEERING & NONPROLIFERATION

Hockaday joined Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1986 in the Fast Transient Plasma group as its only female experimentalist fielding and developing x-ray diagnostics for underground nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). As nuclear testing slowed, she turned her focus to applications of high-powered lasers and pulse power.

From 2002 to 2004, Hockaday led the 500-person Dynamic Experimentation Division, an organization engaged in the research and application of high explosives. In 2006, she was named Deputy Associate Director of Weapons Physics and Program Director for Science and Inertial Confinement Fusion and High Yield (ICF) Campaigns.

Hockaday, who earned her bachelor of science degree in physics, with distinction, from the University of Hawaii, is a member of the American Physical Committee on the Status of Women in Physics and has served on numerous review panels, including those for the Department of Energy, Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico State University and Cornell University.
