Jon is also one of the key contacts at LLNL for the first science experiments involving CDAC scientists at the National Ignition Facility. He was a Geophysical Laboratory Carnegie Fellow from 1992 to 1994, where he did a variety pioneering studies of hydrogen under pressure.

Carnegie CDAC-Affiliated Scientist Yingwei Fei (pictured at left) was elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union in January and received his award during the Fall AGU meeting on December 15, 2010.
