Christopher J. Miller
Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioI am a chemist and Postdoctoral Scholar at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where my research focuses on the core challenges of electrochemical energy conversion and sustainable chemistry. Working within the DOE BETO CO2RUe consortium, I investigate the dynamic behavior of catalysts in CO₂ electrolyzers. My primary approach involves using advanced operando characterization techniques, particularly X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), to build comprehensive models that link a catalyst's atomic-scale structure to its real-world device performance.
My philosophy is that progress requires bridging fundamental science with practical systems engineering. To that end, my expertise includes the ground-up design, construction, and automation of experimental systems. I specialize in building fully integrated electrochemical test stations and gas delivery infrastructure, tailored to deliver high-quality, reproducible data with robust safety features and remote-operation capabilities. Complementing this hardware, I develop custom MATLAB software suites to automate data processing and analysis, significantly accelerating the path from raw data to actionable scientific insight.
In addition to my research, I am deeply committed to education and professional service. As a recent fellow in Stanford's Preparing Future Professors (PFP) program, I received formal training in pedagogy and gained direct mentorship experience at San Jose State University. This commitment extends to the broader scientific community through my long-standing leadership roles within the American Chemical Society (ACS), where I contribute to governance, chemical safety initiatives, and professional development for younger chemists. I am always interested in discussing new collaborations at the intersection of spectroscopy, catalysis, and system design. -
Michael P. Minitti
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioA native of Arizona, I studied chemistry at Mesa Community College and Arizona State University, receiving my bachelor’s degree in 2000. I then did graduate work in chemistry at SUNY Stony Brook and Brown University, eventually specializing in time-resolved studies of the dynamics of chemical reactions. Following my interest in combining chemistry with ultrafast lasers, I did postdoctoral research at Princeton and Brown before joining SLAC as a staff scientist in 2011.

Samsuzzoha Mondal
Research Assoc-Experimental, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioSamsuzzoha Modal is a Research Associate at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and a Ph.D. chemist specializing in advanced microscopy and biophysical chemistry. His research integrates protein engineering, structural biology, and quantitative imaging to understand how protein organization across length scales regulates biological activity, and to translate these mechanistic insights into therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.
Samsuzzoha earned his Ph.D. at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (Mumbai, India), where he developed chemical tools to image signaling phospholipid dynamics in live biological systems. He then completed postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), building in vitro reconstitution models to study the molecular basis of membrane trafficking. Since 2023 at SLAC, he has been combining X‑ray crystallography, small‑angle X‑ray scattering, and advanced optical methods to uncover design principles for quantum biosensing tools and to support structure‑guided small‑molecule therapeutic development.
A committed educator and mentor, Samsuzzoha has taught bioanalytical chemistry and led diverse student teams, emphasizing inclusive, hands‑on training, reproducible data practices, and translational problem‑solving. -

Sandra T. M. Mous
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a researcher at the Linac Coherent Light Source, focused on structural biology and protein dynamics. My work leverages advanced techniques such as time-resolved serial crystallography at X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) and synchrotrons to probe protein structure, dynamics, and function.
