Associate Laboratory Directorate for Experimental Programs; and
as Scientific Advisor to the United States Department of Energy
(1995-1999) where he served a term as Acting Director, National
Security, in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Directorate.
Dr. Peratt's research interests have included numerical and experimental
contributions to high-energy density plasmas and intense particle
beams; explosively-driven pulsed power generators; lasers; intense-power-microwave
sources; particles; high energy density phenomena, Z-pinches, and
inertially driven fusion target designs.
He has served as session organizer for space plasmas, IEEE International
Conference on Plasma Science 1987-1989; Guest Editor, Transactions
on Plasma Science, special issues on Space Plasmas 1986, 89, 90,
