Ken Baptiste has been with the ALS since its origin, and he’s been known for his delicious rum cake that entire time. Along the way, he’s learned about the importance of meticulous planning and discovered a few hidden spaces at the Lab. Read more »
Ringleaders & Postdocs
Johanna Nelson Weker, Users’ Executive Committee Chair
This year’s Users’ Executive Committee chair first used synchrotrons as a grad student and loved the experience so much she eventually became a beamline scientist at SSRL. She’s excited to work closely with the user community during the ALS Upgrade and is well versed in post-beamtime food options in Berkeley. Read more »
Janice Krueger, Senior Business Manager
Coming from the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Janice Krueger is no stranger to the Laboratory. She’s excited to get closer to the science by joining the ALS community. Read on to see how she’ll stock her office when we get back on site. Read more »
Yang Ha, Chemistry and Materials Postdoc
Synchrotron science is in Yang Ha’s DNA. After getting his PhD from Stanford/SSRL, he joined the ALS in 2018 to study batteries and has branched out to theoretical computation and machine learning. He has also learned useful skills for sharing cutting-edge research with a broader audience. Read more »
Sophie Morley, Research Scientist
Sophie Morley became an ALS staff member this July but started coming to the ALS as a user in 2012. Sophie likes to surf and mountain bike, but read more to find out what she really considers to be her playground. Read more »
Roland Koch, Research Scientist

Will Hutcheson, Mechanical Engineering Group Leader
Will Hutcheson has been problem solving since childhood—a necessity growing up on a farm. Playing college football cemented his appreciation for cohesive teams, a mindset that has served him well at Berkeley Lab, the home of team science. Learn more about his vision for the ALS. Read more »
Jin Qian, Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Postdoc
As a theoretical chemist, Jin Qian builds “virtual universes” that help predict what experimental chemists will see in their research. She focuses on water formation, a theme that carries through to one of her hobbies, which she is sharing with us in this month’s postdoc profile. Read more »
Jason Jed, Systems Manager
Before Jason Jed joined the ALS last month, he had already toured the facility in person and through virtual reality. Is it any wonder that he knows some of the more hidden rooms at the ALS? Read more »
Stefania Trovati, Lead Radiation Physicist
As the lead radiation physicist at the ALS, Stefania Trovati is an expert in characterizing the radiation environment, but her expertise stretches beyond physics. She is also highly knowledgeable about raccoons and many other animals. Read more »
