Grzegorz M. Madejski
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioMy English-speaking friends know me as Greg. I was born in Poland, but my college and graduate education was in the US, respectively at MIT and Harvard. After spending 14 years at NASA/Goddard, I arrived in Stanford in 2000. My research interests are mainly in extragalactic high-energy astrophysics. This includes (1) studies of active galactic nuclei, and an associated formation and evolution of relativistic jets; and (2) studies of clusters of galaxies, and in particular the processes responsible for the heating of the X-ray emitting intra-cluster gas. Besides taking advantage of data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory, I am involved in analyzing and interpreting observations performed with X-ray satellites such as NuSTAR, a recently-launched NASA satellite, sensitive in the hard X-ray band, and Hitomi, a joint Japanese - US X-ray astronomy mission.

Derek Mendez
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Current Role at StanfordComputational staff scientist at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), in the Macromolecular Crystallography group (Structural and Molecular Biology division).
Main activities revolve around a 3 year BRaVE-funded project to build a new X-ray resource for the acceleration of medicines development (XMeD). Active in-silico areas of research are in the characterization of crystallization outcomes, virtual and experimental screening of ligands, in-silico methods for lead molecule optimization, and extremely sensitive absorption profile characterization using machine learning techniques. A major computational goal is to determine the most valuable tools (and develop new ones) for future XMeD users.
Beyond XMeD, we are focusing on using GPUs and machine learning models to accelerate processing and characterization of user diffraction data that is collected at SSRL beamlines 12-1, 12-2, 14-1, and 9-2. In addition, we are aiming to make available to users new methods that process X-ray diffraction data at the pixel-level in order to extract more information to better resolve structural changes in proteins arising from e.g., binding events and light/chemical driven dynamics.
We are also partnering with NERSC to build a framework for our beamline users to offload computationally intensive jobs to the Perlmutter GPU cluster. -
Bennet Meyers
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a Staff Scientist with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in the Grid Integration Systems and Mobility (GISMo) Lab in the Applied Energy Division. I completed my PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University in Winter 2023, advised by Prof. Stephen Boyd. We recently wrote a book on signal decomposition, which can be found under my publications tab. More info available on my personal website.
