Over his career, Hans has worked on wide range of topics.  His thesis topic was in the field of intermediate energy physics.  After moving to Los Alamos as a postdoc, Hans began working in the field of elementary particle physics, and became the lead scientist at Los Alamos for the development of radiation tolerant solid state detectors.  Hans was the chief scientist at Los Alamos for the Solenoid Detector Collaboration for the Superconducting Super Collider project and then the Large Hadron Collider project.  This effort involved working closely with a mechanical engineering group and covered a diverse range of specialties including ultra-stable carbon composite structures, heat pipe development, and a real-time television-based holography system. Thereafter, Hans led the development of an extremely high speed imaging detector system (5 million frames per second) for a proton based radiography program.  During this period, Hans also became interested in the global warming and the carbon management issues.  Hans built the Cradle to Grave Carbon Management Research and Development program at Los Alamos National Laboratory, which he is currently leading.  He is the principal investigator at Los Alamos for the Carbon Dioxide Mineral Sequestration effort.  In addition, Hans is one of the organizers of the Zero Emission Coal Alliance and is the director of the technical work of the Alliance.
