Abstract
Research at national laboratories tends to be done on very interdisciplinary teams. Projects tackle real-world problems using mathematics and other fundamental sciences. Solutions are then implemented in software or hardware to be delivered to a government sponsor. This full life cycle requires subject matter experts, research scientists (like mathematicians), and software and hardware engineers. In this GovMath column we see two examples of real-world problems and their interdisciplinary solution. First, from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, mathematicians and data scientists work with automotive engineers to secure vehicle networks. Then, from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, climate researchers use mathematical models to understand climate change and hurricanes.
