                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ERIC SWALWELL

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 28, 2015

  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor four 
former Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists and 
engineers who were inducted into the Laboratory's Entrepreneurs' Hall 
of Fame on January 20, 2015.
  The group of former LLNL researchers, who represent the second class 
of inductees into the Laboratory's Entrepreneurs' Hall of Fame, were 
honored for developing technologies during or after their laboratory 
careers that created major economic impacts and spawned important new 
companies.
  This year's inductees are Martin Casado, Bill Colston, Fred 
Milanovich, and David Tuckerman. Between them, these inductees 
initially started three different companies--an Internet security 
company, a biomedical company that advanced personalized medicine and a 
microchip firm.
  Computer scientist Martin Casado revolutionized the information 
technology world when he developed software-defined networking (SDN). 
Casado is currently continuing efforts to upgrade computer networking 
security, not only for the computer industry, but for banking, retail, 
health care and homeland security.
  Bill Colston and Fred Milanovich left LLNL to found QuantaLife Inc. 
based in Pleasanton which is in my district. In collaboration with 
Milanovich and other experts, Colston developed QuantaLife's hallmark 
product, an anti-bioterrorism technology that was converted into 
medical applications.
  David Tuckerman co-founded nCHIP Inc., a technology company that 
developed enhanced microchips and multi-chip module systems. Tuckerman 
then went on to found Tuckerman & Associates Inc.--an independent 
technical consultancy firm that helps venture capitalists and 
industrial clients advance their ideas into reality.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me celebrating these 
entrepreneurs and honoring Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for 
supporting their employees' entrepreneurial ambitions.
