Greg Leyh is a pulsed-power systems engineer at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, currently developing the ILC Marx modulator for the International Linear Collider. He is also principal engineer for the Nevada Lightning Laboratory, a proposed research facility for directly exploring the large-scale physics of atmospheric electricity in it's many forms. In 1996 he formed Lightning On Demand to pursue the ultimate realization of this facility. In 1997, he designed the Electrum Project, a kinetic lightning sculpture currently operating in New Zealand. Electrum represents the first critical step in developing design techniques and scaling laws essential to the large-scale architecture of the Nevada Lightning Laboratory.
