MONYA LANE is the associate director of Engineering. She has more than 30 years of experience working in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory programs.
As associate director of Engineering, she is responsible for leading a diverse organization of approximately 1600 that provides engineering science and technology to ensure the success of the
Laboratory’s programs and institutional goals.
These efforts include both large- and small-scale systems and components engineering, computational code development and simulation, engineering design and requirements, specialty manufacturing, prototyping and assembly, experiment execution, and the operation of critical engineering facilities. Engineering personnel manage numerous projects requiring complex interactions and a multidisciplinary team approach.
Much of the work involves the simultaneous integration of multiple technologies—from large-scale, complex applied physics systems to microscale engineering. Lane also oversees and directs engineering research and development activities in computational engineering, micro- and nanotechnologies, pulsed power, precision engineering, advanced diagnostics, and knowledge management systems.
Monya Lane previously served as acting associate director of Engineering, deputy associate director of Engineering, and has had leadership positions in mission areas including the National Ignition Facility, Defense Program, Environmental Restoration, Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation, Inertial Confinement Fusion, and Magnetic Fusion Energy. She joined the Lab in 1979 after earning her degree in mechanical engineering from San Jose State University.
She is a registered Professional Engineer in the state of California and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers.
