Daniel Haxton, Four Other Berkeley Lab Researchers Receive DOE Early Career Awards
In the fourth year of the Early Career Research Program managed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, five researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) were on the list of 61 recipients announced this week.
The 61 scientists from across the nation will receive up to $15.3 million in funding for research. The effort is designed to bolster the nation’s scientific workforce by providing support to exceptional researchers during the crucial early career years, when many scientists do their most formative work.
Among this year’s Berkeley Lab winners:
Daniel Haxton, who hails from the Chemical Sciences Division, is a member of the Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Theory Group. Haxton received his award for “The Multiconfiguration Time‐dependent Hartree Fock (MCTDHF) Method for Interactions of Molecules with Strong Ultrafast High‐Energy Laser Pulses.”
