ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Sandia National Labs offers a number of outreach programs designed to cultivate the next generation of scientists and engineers. Kylie Grenier is a third-year undergraduate at the University of Texas in Austin studying Geophysics.
“I’ve always really liked physics and I’ve always like no, I didn’t want to do just physics, but something kind of adjacent to it,” says Grenier. While attending a job fair, she heard about an internship program at Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque.
The successful application brought the budding physicist to the high deserts of Albuquerque as part of Sandia’s FORCEE program. FORCEE stands for “Future of Research for Climate, Earth, and Energy – an internship program co-developed by Kyle Jones, manager of the geophysics department at Sandia.

“I was hoping to inspire them to want to be a part of Sandia and do the research that they do for a longer period of time,” says Jones.
