Systems Integration & Deployment
Integrating systems engineering with policy and operational expertise, we transition solutions from the laboratory to the end user in the field and field experience into the research. We make national security technology work in the real world.
Deployed Technologies
Technology deployment transitions innovations developed at PNNL to the marketplace where they can be used to solve national problems, enhance lives, and improve security around the world.
Precision Materials by Design
At PNNL, we use a combination of theory, computation, and experiments to advance knowledge-driven synthesis of materials for applications in energy, optics, electronics, and quantum information sciences.
Global Change
Global change research studies the complex interactions between human activities and natural systems, focusing on the impacts of environmental and management changes on the atmosphere, ecosystems, and society. It encompasses a range of disciplines, including atmospheric science, ecology, engineering, economics, and social sciences.
Integrative Omics
Life is dynamic, complex, and interconnected—qualities that start with biomolecules, the primary target of PNNL’s integrative omics team.
Computational Mathematics & Statistics
How can our nation predict behavior of complex natural and man-made systems and find critical signatures amidst overwhelming data? PNNL helps decision makers be better informed when making choices in mission critical domains.
Chemical & Biothreat Signatures
Through research in biodetection, chemistry, materials, and pathogen characterization, PNNL sits uniquely at the nexus of chemistry and biology, supporting important national security missions to prevent and counter acts of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Additive Manufacturing
PNNL is developing science and technology to address the national security implications of additive manufacturing as an emerging threat.
