White House Office of Science and Technology Policy official Patricia Falcone has been named the Deputy Director for Science and Technology at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and will take over her new position April 7. Falcone was detailed from Sandia National Laboratories’ Livermore campus to OSTP in 2009 and took over as the Associate Director for National Security and International Affairs in 2012. Falcone will oversee the lab’s science and technology base and strategic development plans as well as collaborative research with academia and the private sector, the lab’s Science, Technology and Engineering Roadmap, and internal investments, including its Laboratory Directed Research and Development Program.
Falcone will replace Greg Suski, who spent the last year as the acting Deputy Director for Science and Technology. “Falcone’s proven leadership and expertise in national and international security matters, combined with her commitment to and experience in sustaining and developing science, technology and engineering excellence for critical national missions were prominent among many factors in her selection,” Lab Director Bill Goldstein said in a statement.
