Alejandro Campos is a research scientist in the Physics Division of the Physical & Life Sciences Directorate at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Prior to joining LLNL, he obtained his PhD and MS from Stanford University and his BS from the University of Rochester. His research focuses on computational simulations of laser-driven high-energy-density physics. Some of his previous work in this area includes simulations of compressible turbulence, strong-shock dynamics, thermonuclear burn, and laser-plasma interactions.
