SLAC community & careers

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.

This summer, five graduate students from the University of Puerto Rico had the opportunity to use SLAC’s world-class facilities to keep their studies on track.

Tais Gorkhover, Michael Kagan, Kazuhiro Terao and Joshua Turner will each receive $2.5 million for research that studies fundamental particles, nanoscale objects, quantum materials and machine learning.

An award-winning mentor and networking guru, Al Ashley has placed thousands of underrepresented minority students in science and engineering summer research programs.

More than 100 students worked on projects ranging from website development to imaging techniques for X-ray studies, learning new ways to apply their talents.

Science-interested teens spent a week at the lab learning more about STEM at the inaugural Greene Scholars Program Summer Science Institute at SLAC.

The fellowship will support their research on new capabilities for the lab's X-ray free-electron lasers and new telescope technology to look for signs of cosmic inflation.

Just three days after the San Francisco Giants won the 2014 World Series, SLAC helped transform their home stadium, AT&T Park, into a science paradise.
