Scientist Jianyu Huang, who has been accused of stealing research from
Sandia National Labs in New Mexico.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A former scientist at Sandia National Labs in New
Mexico has pleaded not guilty to charges of stealing research to share with
China.
Jianyu Huang was arraigned Tuesday on five counts of federal program fraud
and one count of false statements. He is accused of embezzling and sharing
information from his position with the lab's Center for Integrated
Nanotechnologies since 2009, according to a federal indictment.
Elizabeth Martinez, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office of New
Mexico, said Wednesday that Huang will remain in federal custody until he
meets release conditions.
Authorities said he passed off nanotechnology research that belongs to the U
.S. as his own. The indictment alleges he went online to share the data with
state-run schools in China, including Peking University and the Harbin
Institute of Technology.
The false statement charge stems from Huang lying to a lab
counterintelligence officer about taking a lab-owned laptop on a trip to
China, prosecutors said. Sandia employees are required to submit to
interviews before any international business travel. They also are
prohibited from bringing any lab-owned equipment without approval.
Sandia Lab said in a statement that Huang was fired in April for violating
procedures and he never had access to classified national security
information. Among Sandia's objectives is ensuring the security of the
nation's nuclear stockpile and addressing threats to national security.
A message left for Huang's public defender, Brian Pori, was not immediately
returned.
