Mark Kemp
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioAfter joining SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in 2008, Dr. Kemp was an engineer in the Power Conversion and Electrodynamics Departments. Recent activities have included serving as manager of the developmental engineering section, project manager of the SLAC P2 Marx, and technical lead on several pulsed power and RF source projects. He is presently a Senior Staff Scientist at SLAC and is PI on two DARPA funded projects in neutron source and VLF technologies. He is also the Project Manager for a DHS funded project for a high average power linac. He is PI on a DOE funded project for next-generation high efficiency RF sources. He has also served as co-instructor for several years at the US Particle Accelerator School. He has published more than 80 journal and conference papers and has 3 patents.
Dr. Kemp was the treasurer of the 2012 IEEE Power Modulator and High Voltage Conference (IPMHVC), Technical Co-Chair of the 2014 IPMHVC, and General Chair of the 2016 IPMHVC and he currently serves on the executive committee. He is a Senior Member of IEEE. -
Jake D Koralek
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a condensed matter physicist with research interests in quantum materials, ultrafast optics and X-ray science. I grew up in the Stanford neighborhood where I attended Palo Alto High School. I went on to the College of Creative Studies at UCSB where i worked in the lab of David Awschalom studying semiconductor spintronics. I got my PhD in physics from the University of Colorado, Boulder, working with Dan Dessau, where we developed the first system to perform angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) using a table-top laser rather than a large synchrotron facility. I moved to Lawrence Berkeley National Lab for my postdoctoral research with Joe Orenstein where we applied a wide variety of ultrafast optical techniques to study emergent properties in quantum materials and semiconductor devices. I stayed in Berkeley to work with Bob Schoenlein developing ultrafast X-ray techniques to study quantum materials. In 2014 I moved to SLAC where I am now a staff scientist in the Materials ScienceDepartment at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world's first X-ray free-electron laser.
