... Professor P Eardley has been a member of the JASON Study Group since 1981; a member of the National Security Panel of the University of California's President's Council on the National Laboratories from 2000 to 2007; chair of the External Review Panel for the Radiation Effects Sciences Program for Sandia National Laboratories since 2000; and a member of the Joint Mission Committee for Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory since 2007. He received a B.S.

... Plasma Physics Division, and a member of the Department of the Navy Senior Executive Service with responsibility for a broad spectrum of research programs in plasma physics, laboratory discharge and space plasmas, intense electron and ion beams and photon sources, atomic physics, pulsed-power sources, radiation hydrodynamics, high-power microwaves, laser physics, advanced spectral diagnos tics, and nonlinear systems. He began his career at Sandia National Laboratories in 1978 and worked on a variety of projects related to the generation, focusing, and interaction of intense beams of electrons and ions with plasmas.

... He joined LLNL in 1970 as a staff member in the A Division, where he developed the LASNEX com puter program to design laser fusion targets and analyze experiments. In 1980 he was appointed associate division leader in the X Division, where he led a group of physicists responsible for developing numerical methods to accurately perform integrated simulations involving laser absorption, magnetohydrodynamics, atomic physics, and the transport of photons, neutrons, and charged particles.
