Paul M. Dabbar [4] (born July 8,1967) is Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Bohr Quantum Technology,a company developing quantum networking systems. [5] He is also a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy. [6]
During the first presidency of Donald Trump,he was a United States Department of Energy Under Secretary,serving as Under Secretary of Energy for Science. He served as the Department’s principal advisor on fundamental energy research,energy technologies,and science,driving this mission through programs including nuclear and high energy particle physics,basic energy,advanced computing,fusion,and biological and environmental research,and direct management over a majority of the Department’s national labs. In addition,he managed the environmental and legacy management missions of the Department,addressing the U.S. legacy of nuclear weapons production and government-sponsored nuclear energy research. Dabbar was also the lead for technology commercialization activities for the Department and its 17 national labs. [7]
Prior to that role,he was a managing director at J.P. Morgan &Co. He also served on the United States Department of Energy's Environmental Management Advisory Board. [8] [9]
Dabbar is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and Columbia Business School. [10] He served as a nuclear submarine officer aboard the USS Pintado (SSN-672) out of Mare Island,California,and Pearl Harbor,Hawaii,including deployment to the North Pole,where he conducted environmental research. He has been a lecturer at the U.S. Naval Academy and has conducted research at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. [8] [11] [12]

Located in the Berkeley Hills,the lab overlooks the campus of the University of California,Berkeley.
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) is an executive department of the U.S. federal government that oversees U.S. national energy policy and energy production,the research and development of nuclear power,the military's nuclear weapons program,nuclear reactor production for the United States Navy,energy-related research,and energy conservation.
Argonne National Laboratory is a federally funded research and development center in Lemont,Illinois,United States. Founded in 1946,the laboratory is owned by the United States Department of Energy and administered by UChicago Argonne LLC of the University of Chicago. The facility is the largest national laboratory in the Midwest.
The United States Department of Energy National Laboratories and Technology Centers is a system of laboratories overseen by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) for scientific and technological research. The primary mission of the DOE national laboratories is to conduct research and development (R&D) addressing national priorities:energy and climate,the environment,national security,and health. Sixteen of the seventeen DOE national laboratories are federally funded research and development centers administered,managed,operated and staffed by private-sector organizations under management and operating (M&O) contracts with the DOE. The National Laboratory system was established in the wake of World War II,during which the United States had quickly set-up and pursued advanced scientific research in the sprawling Manhattan Project.
Richard Lawrence Garwin is an American physicist,best known as the author of the first hydrogen bomb design.
The Under Secretary for Science and Innovation,formerly the Under Secretary for Science and Energy,is a high-ranking position within the United States Department of Energy. The position was created by the Energy Policy Act of 2005,and the first Under Secretary for Science,Raymond L. Orbach,was sworn in on June 1,2006. The under secretary is appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the United States Senate. In March 2009,Steven E. Koonin was nominated to replace Orbach. Franklin (Lynn) M. Orr was sworn in as the Under Secretary for Science and Energy on December 17,2014,and served in this position through the end of the Obama administration. The most recent under secretary was Paul Dabbar.
The Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence is an office of the United States Department of Energy (DOE) responsible for all intelligence and counterintelligence activities throughout the DOE complex. It was established in 2006 by the merger of pre-existing Energy Department intelligence and security organizations. Due to its central role,OICI is designated DOE's Headquarters Intelligence. As a component of the United States Intelligence Community in addition to the Department of Energy,OICI reports to both the Director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Energy.
The Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is a multi-program national laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Environmental Management. SRNL is located at the Savannah River Site (SRS) near Jackson,South Carolina.
