The University of Chicago has appointed Robert Rosner to the directorship of Argonne National Laboratory effective April 18. His appointment was approved by Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman.
Rosner succeeds Hermann Grunder, who has served as Director of the Laboratory since 2000.
"Robert Rosner is a distinguished scientist who has already made major contributions to the Laboratory and I am confident he is the right man for this job," Secretary Bodman said. "His scientific accomplishments and leadership will build on Dr. Grunder's outstanding work and ensure that DOE's labs continue to contribute to a better tomorrow."
Rosner has served as Argonne's Associate Laboratory Director for physical, biological and computing sciences and as its Chief Scientist since 2002, and in those roles he implemented reinvigorating changes in multiple areas of research while also achieving an outstanding record in safety and security, according to University of Chicago President Don M. Randel. In addition, he was the architect of Argonne's 20-year strategic plan for science and technology.
