Thomas Wolf

The Wolf Research Group investigates ultrafast photochemical dynamics in isolated molecules. We are part of the Stanford PULSE Institute, a Stanford independent laboratory and a research center at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Our offices and lab space are on the SLAC campus. For our research, we use SLAC’s large-scale research facilities, such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world’s first hard X-ray free electron laser, and the megaelectronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV-UED) facility within LCLS.

Kazuhiro Terao

Our group at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is leading R&D of machine learning applications for in the area of experimental neutrino physics and a wider community of High Energy Physics.  Modern neutrino experiments employ a big (100 to 10,000 tonnes), high-resolution (~mm/pixel) particle imaging detectors that records meters-long particle trajectories produced from a neutrino interaction.

Ritimukta Sarangi

Dr. Sarangi is a senior scientist at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory with 19 years of experience in the application of a combination of hard and soft x-ray spectroscopic techniques to a range of systems, from complex biological/biomimetic catalysts to related homogenous catalyst systems. One of her main research foci is understanding the mechanism of first row transition metal metalloenzyme active sites involved in redox catalysis.

Johanna Nelson Weker

The Weker Research Group is at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), a Directorate of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. SLAC is a Department of Energy National Lab managed by Stanford Univeristy. Our research is focused on X-ray microscopy and X-ray characterization of materials far from equilibrium. Using X-rays we study a broad range of systems including energy storage materials such as Li-ion batteries, catalysts, and 3D metal printing (additive manufacturing). 

Michael Ftoney

Our research is focused on structural characterization of materials used for energy conversion and storage and for desalination. We use X-ray techniques at SSRL to establish structure-function relationships in complex materials.
