Scientific discoveries require more than just science; they require tools, equipment and resources to enable scientists to conduct their research. That’s where Renee Carter comes in. As a procurement administrator, Carter is focused on securing the tools, materials and devices that Jefferson Lab researchers need to fulfill every aspect of their work.
Researcher Relies on Jefferson Lab’s Powerful ‘Microscope’ to Study Weak Forces
Krishna Kumar has made it his life’s work to study the space within atoms. He pursues answers to life’s basic questions: Where did we come from? How are we put together? What happened right after the Big Bang?
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.
Mike Murphy has his own set of laws to make sure his projects have maximum impact. Whether he is layering 50 sheets of Mylar onto a niobium cryomodule cavity or using his weekends to build a high-performance race car, Murphy abides by a personal code that calls for him to seek challenging build projects that require a commitment to precision and attention to detail.
