SLAC community & careers

At the Machine Shop, Pete Franco crafts beautiful, intricate and precise parts for the lab’s latest scientific tools.

Their work uses machine learning to transform the way scientists tune particle accelerators for experiments and solve longstanding mysteries in astrophysics and cosmology.

Online educational programs offer new possibilities.

A pioneer in developing methods for cryogenic electron microscopy, he directs two joint facilities for cryo-EM research and development on the SLAC campus.

The prestigious awards provide at least $2.5 million over five years in support of their work in understanding photochemical reactions and improving accelerator beams.

His work aims to deepen our understanding of dark matter, dark energy and other secrets of the universe.

Visitors of all ages shared a science-packed evening of activities.

From middle schoolers to graduate students, more than 300 were introduced this year to real-world science, technology, engineering and math.

The SLAC scientists will each receive $2.5 million for their research on fusion energy and advanced radiofrequency technology.

Physicist Tor Raubenheimer explores the world by climbing rocks and designing particle accelerators.

For mechanical engineer Sarah Edwards, SSRL is the ultimate classic car.

Both are professors at Stanford and SLAC, where Martinez is an investigator with the Stanford PULSE Institute.
