![Adian Cook standing in front of GROVER autonomous bus](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/blog/images/2018-P06080.jpg?itok=EF6BC33a)
Arriving at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in late 2017 as a vehicle system engineer, Adian Cook could not foresee then that he would soon be the example of what happens to a research career when one is in the right place at the right time. But perfect timing is exactly what transpired for Cook as me...
