May built a career in physics focused on health and safety
When Bob May was a student at Virginia Tech in the 1970’s, the school was in the early stages of developing a curriculum that would include environment, safety and health aspects of ionizing radiation for science majors. Now, as the ES&H deputy director at Jefferson Lab, May can look to a decades-long history of involvement and leadership in the field of health physics that began when he was a student at Tech helping to pilot the first courses in his field.
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.
