The INCOSE Enchantment Chapter will hold its next meeting on July 8, 2009 at 4:45PM. Please join us for
Woody Weed – “SE in Sandia's Pulsed Power Fusion Program (or SE for PhDs)”
ABSTRACT: The pulsed power fusion program at Sandia is one of the major programs managed by the Pulsed Power Sciences Center. It is a
big science, experimental physics research program that uses the Z Accelerator as its primary facility. Z is the world’s most powerful pulsed power
accelerator, producing 150 TW in a 100ns pulse. Controlled nuclear fusion is one of the great challenges in science and technology. Its potential to
cleanly power the planet has motivated the investment of tens of billions of dollars over the past four decades. Systems engineering clearly has
applicability to the effective and efficient realization of hardware and instruments that make up a fusion system. Furthermore, SE principles should
also improve/expedite innovation in a team science enterprise. Perhaps the best description of a systems engineer in a scientific environment is that
of a process shepherd.
SPEAKER: Woody is an engineer in Sandia’s Pulsed Power Sciences Center. He has been at Sandia since 1990 and previously worked at
Lawrence Livermore, Spectra Physics Inc. and Coherent Radiation Inc. His technical background is in vacuum system engineering and thin film deposition.
He started morphing into a project manager and systems engineer in 2003 and became a certified PMP earlier this year. He hopes to be a CSEP when he
grows up.
