When planning began for Jefferson Lab’s Gluonic Excitations Experiment (GlueX) in the early 1990s, Justin Stevens was in elementary school. He had no idea that one day he would help design a critical detector for phase two of the multi-decade project or that he would play the critical role of physics analysis coordinator.
Engineer Calls Upon Communication, Precision to Support Physicists at Lab and Beyond
Jefferson Lab Engineer Katherine Wilson knows that precision is indispensable in her field. Yet, getting to the point where precision matters takes constant communication. The French major, former NASA co-op master’s student and one-time shipyard engineer recognizes that her role requires an amalgam of her finely tuned skills, which extend beyond engineering.
Jefferson Lab's Newest Users Group Chair Uses Science to Strengthen Economy of Chile
Experimental physicist and new Jefferson Lab Users Organization Chair Will Brooks has chased scientific answers around the world — pursuing opportunities to lead projects on three continents and in five labs. His research has a profound impact not only on the scientific community, but also on the economies of the countries in which he researches.
Vision: Partnering with our customers, we provide support to further the laboratory's mission to operate a world class user facility for conducting nuclear physics research. Our focus is to provide project management and integrated planning support across the Lab that is aligned with Lab goals, objectives and guidance.
First Post-graduate Career Could Be Start of Lifelong Relationship for Kiarra Garcia
Accelerator Operator Kiarra Garcia believes she is lucky to have landed at Jefferson Lab for her first job out of college. And Garcia hopes to have a potentially decades-long career with her first post-graduate employer, thanks to the educational and career-growth opportunities available at the lab.
Technical Writer Competes in USA Triathlon National Championship
In April, hundreds of Mary Jo Bailey’s Jefferson Lab colleagues saw her sprint to the finish line of the lab’s annual Run-A-Round race in just six minutes and 53 seconds—her personal record for the mile-long race.
The Chief Planning Officer coordinates and manages the allocation of laboratory resources and budgets across the divisions, including internally and externally funded projects, and facilitates development of the laboratory’s operations and research budgets with the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Physics.
