Design and R&D for the Next Linear Collider (NLC) & the International Linear Collider
(ILC). Developed concepts for production, high power targets and remote handling for
positron beams. Wrote the Positron Section of the ILC Reference Design Report (RDR) and
assembled the ILC RDR from inputs provided by colleagues world-wide.
Laser Safety Training completed. Knowledgeable in ANSI Z136.1-2000, “Safe Use of Lasers”
standards, the background science behind the standards and the required calculation
methodology.
Proposal, execution and publication of a demonstration experiment for positron production
(E166). Appointed E166 Safety Officer responsible for the training of university
collaborators, presentations to the various safety committees and the safe running of the
experiment. Design and implementation of the online triggering system.
Design and R&D for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Leader for the linac design.
Member of the Editorial Board for the LCLS Technical Design Report (TDR, 1998) and the
LCLS Conceptual Design Report (CDR, 2002). Overall responsibility for the TDR & CDR
cost estimates.
Linac operations and R&D for the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC). R&D and design of
temperature stabilization of SLAC Energy Doubler (SLED) RF cavities. Alignment of
synchrotron light monitor using a laser system.
Presentations and participation at numerous national and international conferences.
1984 – 1995:
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, Illinois.
Scientist II (1991-1995), Scientist I (1989-1991), Associate Scientist (1984-1988).

needed repairs to maintain performance. Coordination of beam delivery and other needs with
experimental users of the beam.
Booster Department Head. Responsible for all aspects of a department of 18 people, both
administrative and technical, and for improving the Booster accelerator performance in order
to accept the increased beam from the Fermilab linac upgrade.
Design, R&D, construction and commissioning of the Fermilab anti-proton source. Design,
R&D and testing of RF systems for the Anti-Proton Debuncher Ring accelerator. Responsible
for the commissioning of the Anti-Proton Debuncher Ring accelerator. Wrote accelerator
beam control software.
Member of Fermilab Experiment 760 (charm production at threshold in p-pbar collisions),
responsible for beam manipulations in the Anti-Proton Accumulator Ring accelerator near
transition.
Prepared for the 1992 “Tiger Team” review of the Fermilab Accelerator complex. Designed a
measurement scheme and wrote the data acquisition system to verify the radiation shielding
requirements for the Fermilab accelerators. Designed engineering and administrative controls
to ensure shielding integrity.
Design and R&D for TESLA superconducting linear collider. Experimental on the Final
Focus Test Beam (FFTB) experiment at SLAC.
Member of Fermilab Committee for Scientific Appointments. This committee considered and
gave final approval to all scientific hiring and promotion laboratory wide.
Attendance and presentations at numerous national and international conferences.
1983 – 1984:
University of California at Irvine, Irvine, California. Assistant Research Physicist.

Experiment 225 (neutrino-electron scattering) at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility, Los
Alamos National Laboratory (LAMPF). Responsible for data-taking and pattern recognition
software for data analysis.
1977 – 1983:
University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, California.
Assistant Research Physicist.

Fermilab Experiment 516 (charmed photoproduction) and PEP-9 experiment at SLAC
(gamma-gamma annihilation). Responsible for the construction of a large electromagnetic
lead-liquid scintillator shower counter. Responsible for data-taking and analysis of
experiments. Responsible for the calibration laser system for the electromagnetic shower
counter.
1977:
