Ringleaders & Postdocs

Kevan Anderson, Beamline Controls Lead

Kevan Anderson joined the ALS in August as supervisor of the Beamline Controls Group, which is responsible for supporting the integrated control systems associated with ALS beamlines. Anderson works with a group of software developers who are available to beamline scientists. Read more »

Jeremy Coyne, Senior Business Manager

After 18 years working in various divisions at Berkeley Lab, Jeremy Coyne recently returned to the ALS, where his Lab career first started. Jeremy has taken on the role of senior business manager at the ALS, overseeing and managing the ALS Business Support Team and the division’s entire financial portfolio. Read more »

Sol Omolayo, Vacuum Systems Engineering Lead

Sol Omolayo joined the ALS about a year ago and has been enjoying the challenge of being part of the design team for the ALS Upgrade project, ALS-U, as well as applying his vacuum engineering expertise to current ALS operations. Read more »

Guillaume Freychet, Physicist Postdoctoral Fellow

Guillaume Freychet is a postdoctoral fellow at ALS Beamlines 7.3.3 and 11.0.1.2, the small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS /GISAXS) beamlines. His research is focused on the development of algorithms and data treatments for various scattering techniques. Read more »

Jinghua Guo, Senior Scientist

Jinghua Guo has been a part of the ALS since the early days. His original research focus is still one of his top interests now—studies of in situ capabilities of catalysts in gases and liquids and chemical processes. Guo also studies nanostructured materials, energy materials, and water and environmental sciences at Beamline 8.0.1 and also at 6.3.1.2. Read more »

Gregory Su, Physicist Postdoctoral Fellow

Gregory Su is a postdoctoral fellow studying connections between chemistry, structure, and function in soft materials by combining experimental soft x-ray spectroscopy and scattering with ab initio calculations. Su has been at the ALS since March 2016 and works primarily with the scattering group at Beamline 11.0.1.2, the Resonant Soft X-Ray Scattering (RSoXS) Beamline. Read more »

Monika Blum, Assistant Research Professor and UEC Chair

Moni Blum has been coming to the ALS since she was a young graduate student. She’s now an assistant research professor at UNLV in Clemens Heske’s group and oversees their synchrotron activities at the ALS. The group uses ALS Beamlines 8.3.2 and 9.3.1 to study materials for energy conversion. Blum also serves as chair of the UEC. Read more »
