Dr. Steven P. Fisher is a synthetic chemist with 15+ years of chemistry experience. He started his career at LLNL as a post doctorial researcher with an emphasis on energetic material synthesis. Within this scope he works on discovery of novel small molecule energetics, solubility and crystallization, automation of energetic synthesis and integrating existing software to streamline energetic material assessment. He currently works at HEAF which is part of LLNL’s Energetic Material Center.

Prior to this he worked in the semiconductor industry for Intel as a layer owner in mask operations at the Ronler Acres campus in Hillsboro Oregon.

Steven’s a big fan of education and spent many moons learning about different topics. He received a PhD from UCR where we worked in the Lavallo Lab exploring the awesomeness of boron chemistry. In this field he utilized anionic carborane clusters in ligand design for reactive metal centers and catalyst. Before graduate school he obtained a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry with a minor in physics from CSUSM. While at CSUSM Steven was a founding tutor of the STEM center, founding father of the delta epsilon chapter of ZBT, learning assistant, undergraduate student research investigating biomineralization with the amazing Dr. Schmidt and charge-transfer complexes with the legendary Dr. Reinheimer.

Steven is a native Californian who loves hanging out with friends and family, eating In-n-Out, playing video games and creating soap!
