Sergio Carbajo
Casual - Nonexempt, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Current Role at StanfordSergio leads the Quantum Light-Matter Cooperative (Q-LMC), whose mission is to understand, design, and ultimately control light-driven physical processes to help solve interconnected socio-technological challenges. The Q-LMC is located across various areas in California: based at the UCLA Electrical & Computer Engineering Department and closely affiliated with the UCLA Physics & Astronomy Department, and Stanford University’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and the Linac Coherent Light Source.
Photon sciences and technologies establish the building blocks for myriad scientific and engineering frontiers in life and energy sciences. Because of this overarching functionality, the Q-LMC’s areas of application include life sciences, biochemistry, quantum optics and information sciences, and environmental and chemical engineering. That is, it seeks to help solve major life and energy challenges by examining the cooperative interaction between photons and matter. The Q-LMC’s research is informed by a critically interdisciplinary approach to the science and applications of light by design. At LCLS, Sergio leads the Lasers for Accelerators (L4A) group as part of the Q-LMC, where he bridges expertise across disciplines in photon sciences and accelerator physics for the advancement of XFEL technology and science. The L4A is a consortium administratively based at LCLS and consisting of faculty, graduate students, technicians, and engineers from various directorates at SLAC and departments at Stanford.
Sergio is also invested in community organizing and leadership to advance diversity and inclusion (D&I) policymaking, advocacy, and engagement in scientific and academic environments within and beyond the UCLA and Stanford communities. Partnered with non-profit institutions, he participates in several University, county and state, and federal-level sponsored programs tailored to promote equity in STEM fields through action in distinct areas of sciences and engineering.
