Laboratory for Advanced Materials

Last updated

The Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (G-LAM) at Stanford University supports research on advanced materials. Major research foci include information storage materials.

G-LAM is an Independent Laboratory that was established on September 1, 1999. Its mission is to support collaborative research programs on advanced materials and foster interdisciplinary research and education for undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students.

Professor Ian R. Fisher was appointed Director of G-LAM in 2013. Fisher heads the Fisher Research Group at G-LAM. [1] [2] [3] [4]

In 2000, the laboratory was named after Stanford physicist Theodore H. Geballe. [5]

Jessica Hellmann is a Professor of Ecology and the director of the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota. She is recognized as "one of the nation’s leading researchers on global change ecology and climate adaptation". Hellmann was one of the first to identify that living with climate change is "just as crucial to the future of humanity and Earth’s ecosystems as slowing and stopping greenhouse gas emissions". Her lab uses mathematical models, genomic techniques to identify the impact of climate change on ecology and evolution. Jessica Hellmann also has a spouse, Larry LaTarte (1974) and one daughter, Ada LaTarte (2007).
