New Accelerator Director Follows Technology, Oversees Accelerator Operations
Eduard Pozdeyev has made a career out of responding to the call for his expertise in designing and building equipment when an accelerator facility has required a large-scale equipment upgrade. Now, he is settling into his new, long-term role at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility on the other side of the project life-cycle—as the director of accelerator operations for the lab’s Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF).
A strong force in physics shows impact beyond the lab
With a passion for understanding how the universe works and a curious desire to unfold theories with logic, it’s no wonder that Patrizia Rossi ventured into physics and is now the deputy associate director for Experimental Nuclear Physics at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. With more than 35 years of research experience, her contributions to the scientific field are just as impactful beyond the lab.
Postdoctoral research associate builds on paradigm-shifting experiments
Burcu Duran is no stranger to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. She conducted research at the lab as a Temple University graduate student while working toward her Ph.D. in nuclear physics. Now, Ph.D. in-hand, she is continuing her research at Jefferson Lab as a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the University of Tennessee.
