Research and Technologies for National Security: A Perspective from a National Security Laboratory

Dr. Hommert earned a BS degree cum laude in mechanical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and MS and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering from Purdue University. He received an Outstanding Alumnus Award for Professional Excellence in 2003 from Purdue's School of Mechanical Engineering and a Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award in 2010 from Purdue's College of Engineering. In 2013, Dr. Hommert was named Laboratory Director of the Year by the Federal Laboratory Consortium for his support of Sandia's technology transfer activities.

Travel

We are starting to see several trips that are being booked along with their reimbursements in the Concur system so we think most people have been able to attend training.  During the implementation period, we have been processing travel reimbursements with paper form 25's or through Concur, but we will need to migrate completely to Concur by November 22.  This date will coincide pretty closely with the last date that Travel will be able to accept paper form 25's.

Please contact your departmental Business Manager if you have any concerns about any training needs that might exist.  We have staff in the Business Office who are happy to assist you and provide individual training resources as you book a trip or prepare the expenditure report.

Sincerely,
Christy
