Siegfried Glenzer awarded 2025 Teller Medal by ANS

Siegfried Glenzer, the director of SLAC's HEDS division, has been awarded the Edward Teller Medal Award for 2025 by the American Nuclear Society.  The award recognizes his leading role in advancing capabilities that enabled the National Ignition Facility to successfully demonstrate fusion gain, as well as his contributions to fundamental science and his mentorship of the next generation of scientific leaders.

The Edward Teller Award is awarded biennially, and recognizes pioneering research and leadership in the use of high-intensity drivers (e.g. lasers, ion-particle beams, pulsed power) to produce unique high-density matter for scientific research and to conduct investigations of inertial fusion.
