Speaker Jeffrey Wadsworth

Wadsworth possesses an admirable combination of commercialization experience and scientific expertise.  He began his career at Lockheed Missiles and Space Company in 1980 where he directed research activity and funding for the Metallurgy division.  He joined Battelle in 2002 after 10 years of senior leadership responsibilities at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.  During his tenure as Deputy Director for Science and Technology, he significantly increased interactions and collaborations with industry.

During his Battelle career, he led a period of rapid growth as Laboratory Director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he presided over the Lab's emergence as the world's leader in neutron science, nanoscience, and high-performance computing.  Most recently, in addition to managing Battelle's global lab business, he also has been on the advisory board of Battelle Ventures and managed Battelle's overall S&T investments.

Wadsworth holds B.Met., Ph.D, D. Met., and D. Eng. (honorary) degrees from Sheffield University.  He has been elected a Fellow of three societies.  In 2005 he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in recognition of his scientific contributions to their literature and for scientific leadership supporting national security.
