Albert Migliori received a B.S. in physics in 1968 from Carnegie Mellon University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Illinois in 1970 and 1973. He is associ- ate director of the Seaborg Institute for Actinide Science at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Dr. Migliori is co-discoverer of acoustic heat engines. He is
a leading expert in the use of resonant ultrasound spectroscopy as a solid-state physics tool for which he won R&D Magazine’s R&D 100 Awards in 1991 and 1994. He has also won a Federal Laboratory Consortium Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer in 1993, and a Los Alamos National Laboratory Distinguished Performance Award in 1994. He is a fellow of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the American Physical Society, and the Acoustical Society of America. He holds 25 patents, is the author of over 200 publications, six book chap- ters, and one book. Recent interests include elasticity of Plutonium, superconductivity in pulsed magnetic fields, and state-of-the-art research and development of new measure- ment techniques.
