DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
How long have you been at Fermilab?
I m coming up on 26 years in March. I ve been with the Department of Energy national labs for a little over 32 years overall. I did my graduate work at Brookhaven National Lab on the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, then I came to Fermilab. I worked in operations here for a little bit, then I worked on electron cooling and FAST/IOTA, and now I m working on the PIP-II accelerator project.
What do you do for PIP-II?
I m responsible for machine protection systems to make sure that the accelerator won t have excessive beam loss or issues that will cause damage to the very expensive cryogenic systems. The protection system is critical in order to operate the test bed for PIP-II, called PIP2IT.
