Xiang Li
Associate Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a scientist in the Atomic, Molecular and Optical (AMO) Sciences Department and Data Systems Division at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Investigating the ultrafast processes in atoms and molecules with charged-particle spectroscopy at x-ray free-electron lasers is the major theme of my research. It consists of three interconnected endeavors. One is to understand the material response to ultra-intense x-rays at the atomic level, and another is to exploit such x-rays as the probe for unraveling photo-induced molecular dynamics. And the third is to develop machine learning algorithms for solving some of the bottleneck problems in our field. I am involved in the design, assembly, and operation of experimental endstations at the AMO beamline of the LCLS, as well as the software development for AMO experiments performed at free-electron laser facilities.

Mengning Liang
Lead Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Current Role at StanfordMy role at LCLS at SLAC is SRD Deputy Director for Strategic Development - I aid management to develop FEL science sustainably and to increase the impact of FEL science in the broader scientific community.
Coherent X-ray Imaging (CXI) Instrument lead - Lead one of the scientific instruments at LCLS. CXI is a hard X-ray, in-vacuum instrument which specialized in low signal to noise experiments due to a vacuum sample environment and high X-ray power measurements due to a nanofocus beam which can provide X-ray power up to 10^20W/cm^2
LCLS-II-HE CXI upgrade science lead. LCLS-II-HE is an upgrade of the LCLS X-ray Free Electron Laser which will take the repetition rate from 120Hz to 1MHz. The CXI instrument will undergo a complete upgrade to maximally utilize this unprecedented new source. -

Yu Lin
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioDr. Lin is a staff scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and a PI at the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) at SLAC. Her research centers on utilizing a suite of in situ probes, particularly X-ray tools, to understand the behavior of complex materials under extreme conditions. These materials find applications in a wide range of technologies essential for a sustainable energy future. Recently, integrating artificial intelligence tools has become one of her new research endeavors, further advancing the study.

Tom Linker
Associate Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am an Associate Scientist at SLAC National Lab. I utilize mutliscale simulations and machine learning to understand light matter interaction for ultrafast X-ray experiments performed at X-ray light sources around the world.
I am currently interested in development of attosecond non-linear x-ray emission spectroscopy techniques with the ultimate goal of exploring photochemistry in biological and catalytic systems. I am also developing molecular dynamics frameworks and X-ray scattering/spectroscopy experiments for excited state chemistry at nanoparticle surfaces for new energy technologies. -

Yusong Liu
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am currently an associate staff scientist in SLAC LCLS SRD Chemical Science Department. My research interest falls in excited state dynamics of small organic molecules, and I am particularly interested in using novel experimental techniques probing the ongoing dynamics in real time and space. The excited state dynamics in these systems usually take place in attoseconds to picoseconds time scales. The strongly-coupled electronic and nuclear dynamics often result in ultrafast energy redistribution as well as structure transformation, and facilitate many phenomenons in physics, chemistry, and biology.
My research builds on my extensive experience with ultrafast optical laser science and technology and time resolved spectroscopies. I am currently focusing on developing experiments utilizing multiple time-resolved spectroscopy or diffraction techniques probing molecular dynamics. These included time-resolved valence-ionization spectroscopy, Soft X-ray core-ionization spectroscopy, and ultrafast electron and hard X-ray diffraction. Most of my experiments are built upon the LCLS FEL X-ray beamline, MeV-UED facility in SLAC national lab, and our own tabletop ultrafast laser lab in Stanford PULSE institute. -
