As a highly skilled Electro-Mechanical Technical Associate, I bring forth a comprehensive background in electronic engineering technology, coupled with a Bachelor of Science degree. My expertise encompasses the fusion of electronic and mechanical systems, providing a solid foundation for innovative problem-solving and efficient project execution. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence, I am poised to contribute effectively to the dynamic field of high energy physics. Currently serving as a control room operator at the Tandem Van der Graaff.
Education
BSEET DeVry University 1998
Professional Appointments
Past appointments include:
As a National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) technician, I specialized in the maintenance and operation of the RF cavities and transmitters, as well as the klystrons and thyratrons of the LINAC, and constructing/testing the new pulse-forming networks (PFN). Subsequently contributing to the smooth operation of the linear accelerator.
Deep Ultra Violet Free Electron Laser (DUV-FEL), my expertise extended to the installation of programmable logic controls for the fourth klystron/PFN of the accelerator.
During my time at the Advanced Test Facility (ATF), I focused on the Marx generator and maintenance of the klystron/pfn components.
Transitioning to the Energy Recovery Linac (ERL), my role evolved into that of a work control coordinator, overseeing the testing of superconducting RF cavities.
Currently, my responsibilities include serving as a control room operator for the Tandem Van der Graaff, where my skills contribute to the operational excellence of the facility.
