NNSA’s Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D) held its annual University Program Review (UPR) meeting from June 3 – June 5, 2025 at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Over 250 participants representing university partners, national laboratories, and the government joined together at this event. The LANNS group members showcased the accomplishments of the DNN R&D-funded research projects to the broader nuclear security and nonproliferation community.

UPR is an unclassified venue for sponsors to review the accomplishments of grantees; stakeholders within the community to engage sponsored researchers; a forum to stimulate collaboration, technology transfer, and integration; and a venue where students and early career scientists can interact with their peers in a rigorous, yet collegial, environment.

All LANNS group’s presentations are very impressive, including 3 oral talks and 5 posters. Mackenzie Duce, an ETI PhD student from our LANNS group, won the Best Oral Presentation Award!
