How does ASL differ from a Department of Energy National Laboratory?
A system of 10 national laboratories supports the DOE’s Office of Science and Defense Programs. This network is the most comprehensive research system of its kind and conducts research critical to the national interest. These highly collaborative labs share facilities, equipment, and super-computers. Multi-disciplinary teams of scientists come together to perform research on energy, the environment and national defense. They do work which, for a variety of reasons, cannot be managed either by universities or the private sector. The Institute for Shock Physics has strong partnerships with such Defense Program laboratories as Sandia, Livermore, and Los Alamos. It conducts research that is closely linked to national security. ASL will benefit from these relationships and will also have the flexibility to pursue contract work in the private sector.
