Post was a winner of the James Clerk Maxwell Prize in Plasma Physics[2] and led the controlled thermonuclear research group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for 23 years. He held a total of 34 patents[4] in the fields of nuclear fusion, particle accelerators, and electronic and mechanical energy storage. Early life and educationPost was born in 1918 in Pomona, California.[3] He received a BA in physics from Pomona College in 1940 and a PhD in physics from Stanford University in 1951. After his PhD, he was inspired to pursue fusion energy research by a college professor.[4] CareerPost joined the staff at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) as leader of the controlled thermonuclear research group until 1974.[3] During this time, he developed many of concepts behind magnetic mirrors and direct energy conversion.[1] He worked with Marshall Rosenbluth to develop the stability of plasma inside mirror machines.[5] From 1974 to 1987 he was deputy associate director of the magnetic fusion energy program at LLNL. This was a heavily funded effort by the United States Department of Energy to build a succession of magnetic mirror machines, including the Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) and the Tandem Mirror Facility. After 1987, Post was senior scientist in the magnetic fusion energy program.[3] He has held advisory roles at NASA, the National Academy of Sciences and the United States Air Force.[3] His notable work includes inductrack[6][7][8] and magnetically levitated flywheels.[9] Personal lifePost and his wife Marlyee (a poet) are the parents of actress Markie Post and her two brothers,[10] Steve and Rodney.[4] Although he retired in 1994, Dr. Post continued to work in his lab four days a week, up until the week of his death on 7 April 2015.[11] References1. ^1 {{cite journal| last= Post| first= Richard |title= Mirror Systems: Fuel Cycles, Loss Recovery, and Energy Recovery| journal= BNES Nuclear Fusion Reactor Conference at Culham Laboratory |date= September 1969}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Post, Richard F.}}{{US-physicist-stub}}2. ^{{cite web| url= http://www.aps.org/programs/honors/prizes/prizerecipient.cfm?last_nm=Post&first_nm=Richard&year=1978| title= 1978 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics Recipient: Richard F.
