Kelli Humbird is a computational physics leader and design physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory with nine years of experience advancing inertial confinement fusion and high energy density physics. As Group Leader for Computational Physics and lead of the ICF Cognitive Simulation team, she blends hands-on experiment design with machine learning and uncertainty quantification to accelerate predictive simulation workflows. She holds a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from Texas A&M and has progressed from design physicist to group leadership while remaining deeply technical. Her work emphasizes integrating ML-driven surrogates and UQ into fusion design cycles, reducing experiment turnaround and improving confidence in high-stakes predictions. Based in Livermore, she bridges national-lab scale research with practical computational engineering, mentoring teams to deliver reproducible, physics-informed models.
