Adaptability, flexibility prove invaluable in lab and abroad
During his working hours, one might find Ryan Biraben with his nose deep in an engineering standards manual, looking for the formula to calculate the seismic load of a new piece of equipment. After all, such a focus on detail is important for an engineer working in Jefferson Lab’s Experimental Hall A.

Cryogenics pro designs systems to be used on-site, in labs around the world
Ritendra Bhattacharya is known for keeping things cool—cold, really. As deputy department head of the Cryogenics department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Bhattacharya leads the cryogenics engineering group and helps to maintain the five cryogenics plants operating throughout the lab.
Each cryogenic plant serves a unique function and needs to be operative 24/7 and 365 days a year using an unsupervised computer control system.
