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.
