Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Walters is a Staff Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory with 13 years of experience modeling and simulating microstructural behavior of solids in dynamic and extreme environments. He holds a PhD in Applied Mechanics and has led multi-scale finite-element studies of thermomechanical properties in composite explosives and ice/snow microstructures relevant to avalanche formation. His work bridges fundamental research and applied engineering, producing primary-author publications cataloged on Google Scholar. Based in Los Alamos, he pairs rigorous quantitative modeling with hands-on experimental insight developed during graduate research and laboratory internships. Outside the lab he brings discipline and situational awareness from long-term service as a Level 3 on-ice hockey official. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex multiscale physics into actionable predictions for high-consequence materials.
