Ricarda Laasch
Admin Services Administrator, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Current Role at StanfordRicarda (Cara) Laasch is the manager of the User Research Administration Group at the Stanford Synchrotron Light Source (SSRL), part of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. In her role, she connects researchers with the right tools to tackle complex problems using synchrotron light. Cara and her team are responsible for developing, implementing, and coordinating user access at SSRL, as well as managing stakeholder communications and reporting related to the user program. They also design and execute various user communication and outreach activities, ensuring that researchers have the support they need to leverage SSRL's cutting-edge capabilities.
Before joining SSRL, Cara served as the executive communicator for the Deputy Laboratory Director of Research at Berkeley National Laboratory. Prior to that, she was the Communications Manager for the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), where she spent six years enhancing user engagement and communication strategies. -

Wei-Sheng Lee
Lead Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioDr. Lee is a staff scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Lab and a PI at the Stanford Institute of Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) at SLAC. His research interest is to understand and control collective behaviors in quantum materials by using and developing x-ray techniques, including x-ray/photoemission spectroscopy, resonant/non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering and time-resolved x-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation light source and x-ray free-electron laser.

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. -

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
Associate 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. -
