The following information was released by Argonne National Laboratory:
Mark Peters was recently appointed deputy director for programs for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. Peters assumed his duties as one of the top administrators at the laboratory Sunday.
"I've had the opportunity in the last year to work closely with Mark during the development of the lab's energy strategy," Argonne Director Eric Isaacs said. "Mark's unique viewpoint and skill set will complement those of the entire executive management team. Moreover, his technical background, experience and energy will be a tremendous asset to Argonne, especially as he leads the development of the lab's long- and short-term strategic plans for science and technology."
In his new role, Peters, 45, will work closely with Argonne scientists, engineers, senior management and UChicago Argonne, LLC, which manages the lab for DOE; serve on the lab's policy-making bodies; and oversee and direct Argonne's Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program to ensure the highest-potential and highest-quality proposals are funded.
