Draft:Arianna Gleason

• Comment: Please read carefully the requirements in WP:NPROF. She needs much more than a couple of mentions in popular science, she needs major recognition in terms of awards. None of her current awards are in that category. She will get there, but not yet and probably not for some years. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:06, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Not enough significant, independent coverage. Not enough hits on scholar. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:25, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Does not satisfy WP:GNG. Does she satisfy academic notability? Robert McClenon (talk) 04:26, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Dr. Arianna Gleason is a Staff Scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University Adjunct Faculty in the Geological Science Department. where she focuses on dynamic mesoscale materials properties. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, Gleason earned her PhD in Earth and Planetary Science in 2010, with a focus on high-pressure mineral physics and planetary sciences.

Her research on mineral physics has demonstrated that molten rock in the Earth's core is denser than solid rock, potentially contributing to the creation of magnetic fields. The research uses lasers to induce shock waves that subject iron in the lab to extreme temperatures and pressures, simulating the conditions in the Earth's outer molten core. In response to the pressure, iron molecules rearrange themselves into twin crystals.

She was the lead author on a study that discovered a new kind of ice, named ice VII, which forms under "pressures exceeding 50,000 times that of Earth's atmosphere at sea level", which occur when two icy extraterrestrial bodies collide. The formation of ice can vary depending on temperature and pressure. Gleason's research captures the formation of ice VII by generating the pressure required with one laser, and capturing images of the formation with another laser.

Awards

Gleason was awarded the Department of Energy (DOE) Early Career Award from the Office of Science, Fusion Energy Science in 2019 for research in fusion energy and the development of next-generation radio frequency (RF) technology. From 2014-2018, Gleason was the Frederick Reines and Director’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the Los Alamos National Laboratory from Shock and Detonation Physics. She received the 2014 Mineral and Rock Physics Early Career Award at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting.

Advisory Committees

Gleason has served on the DOE Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) Advisory Committee for Long Range Planning, Basic Research Needs on Inertial Fusion Energy, Accelerating Nuclear Innovations and International Benchmarking. The FES is an independent advisory committee that provides guidance to the Director of the Office of Science on complex scientific and technological issues that arise in the planning, implementation, and management of the fusion energy sciences program. Gleason was a member of the International Programme Committee for the 29th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference (FEC) 2023 held October 16-21, 2023.

Presentations and Publications

Gleason is author or co-author of 206 publications, including Ultrafast radiographic imaging and tracking: An overview of instruments, methods, data, and applications. Gleason presented at the Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering in April 2023 on “New Lens on the Frontier of Matter in Extreme Conditions. The talk provided an overview of important developments in the generation of extreme environments and how matter is probed and characterized at extreme conditions.
