Expanding Opportunities with Full-Year Fellowships
Thanks to the generosity of the Davis Family, LLF is supporting two Full-Year Fellows in 2025! This unique program extends the traditional 10–12 week summer fellowship through the academic year, allowing students to continue their research remotely with LLNL mentors. By staying engaged, Fellows deepen their expertise, sharpen their skills, and contribute more meaningfully to LLNL’s research ecosystem. Learn more about our fellows Osman Brown, Carbon Fellow, and Danny Humphrey, Life Sciences Fellow.

UC Climate Entrepreneurs Fellows
Four UC Climate Entrepreneurs Fellows, recruited by the LLF, came to LLNL for the Summer of 2024 to collaborate with Lab researchers. Students received training, networking, and coaching on entrepreneurship and product development best practices designed to innovate and develop their technology ideas for market.
Meet Our 2024 Fusion Fellows
The achievement of ignition by LLNL in December 2022 was groundbreaking. Moving beyond that to the nation’s decadal vision of commercial fusion energy will require, among other things, creating pathways and opportunities for the next generation to work in fusion. In 2023, the Foundation launched an inaugural Fusion Fellowship opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to work with the Inertial Fusion Energy team at LLNL. This summer, LLF was pleased to bring two more fusion fellows to the Lab.
Livermore and Tracy High School Graduates now in College benefit from Collaboration between Livermore Lab Foundation and Girls Who Code
This summer, the Livermore Lab Foundation welcomed three college students as Early Intern Program Fellows at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory who graduated from Livermore and Tracy high schools.
Willimam B. Shuler Life Sciences Fellow
William “Bill” Shuler dedicated over 29 years at LLNL to astrophysics, high-energy experimental physics, and strategic weapons design. Following his tragic passing in 2021, his sister, Leslie Blain, established the William B. Shuler Fund for Neurodegenerative Disease Research. While Bill’s legacy is tied to the Lab’s mission, Blain saw this fund as a way to honor him and give back to society.
