Anna Grassellino, chief technology officer and associate laboratory director for the Technology Directorate at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, has been appointed to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science Advisory Committee, known as SCAC — a federal advisory body that provides independent advice on scientific priorities and strategies.
Grassellino will also serve as chair of the SCAC quantum subcommittee. In that role, she will help guide national efforts toward DOE’s 2028 goal for error-corrected quantum computers capable of addressing major scientific challenges. The subcommittee is also charged with exploring partnership opportunities and leveraging resources across the broad U.S. quantum ecosystem.
