Brian,
Indeed, Kevin Anderson has been a technical editor at Lawrence Livermore

Also, (although I wouldn't call him "famous") Kevin Anderson worked
(works?) as a technical writer. For those who don't know, Anderson is
also a SF writer who recently wrote the "Jedi Academy" trilogy of Star
Wars books. I believe he is also working on some other Star Wars
books, including a short story collection and a children's series ...
I don't have one of his novels with me, but I remember the "About the
Author" section mentions that he has spent about a decade working as a
technical writer/editor . . .
