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.

Apurva Mehta
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a materials scientist by training with 30 years of experience investigating molecular-scale processes that control function, aging, and failure of complex materials and devices. Advance characterization methods that give insight into molecular processes have undergone a dramatic change over those 30 years with the advent of brighter sources (from X-rays synchrotrons and free-electron lasers to MeV accelerator-based electron sources), and faster and larger area detectors. The depth and the precision of insights have improved significantly but the amount of raw data has increased by orders of magnitude as well, making extraction of deep insights harder. Over the last decade, I have, therefore, focused on leveraging emerging machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to not only accelerate knowledge extraction from complex, multi-dimensional, and noisy data but also make data collection smarter.

Bennet Meyers
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2018
Project Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator LaboratoryBioI’m a Project Scientist with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, advised by Stephen Boyd. We recently wrote a paper on signal decomposition.
Since 2018, I have been running the PVInsight project for SETO, developing tools to solve digital operations and maintence problems in the solar PV industy. Some of these tools can be found here.
I am interested in machine learning, signal processing, and data mining and their applications in the energy sector. I am particularly interested in topics of large scale renewable integration and distributed energy generation. -
Michael P. Minitti
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Current Role at StanfordI am a Senior Staff Scientist specializing in time-resolved gas-phase chemistry and structural dynamics studies using ultrabright, ultrafast X-rays and electrons. I also serve as the Director of the Megaelectronvolt Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (MeV-UED) user facility and as the LCLS Soft X-Ray Department Head at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
