Piero Pianetta
Professor (Research) of Photon Science and of Electrical Engineering
BioPianetta's research is directed towards understanding how the atomic and electronic structure of semiconductor interfaces impacts device technology pertaining to advanced semiconductors and photocathodes. His research includes the development of new analytical tools for these studies based on the use of synchrotron radiation. These include the development of ultrasensitive methods to analyze trace impurities on the surface of silicon wafers at levels as low as 1e-6 monolayer (~1e8 atoms/cm2) and the use of various photoelectron spectroscopies (X-ray photoemission, NEXAFS, X-ray standing waves and photoelectron diffraction) to determine the bonding and atomic structure at the interface between silicon and different passivating layers. Recent projects include the development of high resolution (~30nm) x-ray spectromicroscopy with applications to energy materials such as Li batteries.

Rajan Plumley
Visiting Physicist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a PhD Candidate at Carnegie Mellon University and Visiting Physicist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences. My research focuses on using state-of-the-art X-ray facilities such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC to study ultra-fast dynamics in materials. I am especially interested in how X-ray speckle phenomena can be used to understand the role fluctuations play in the emergence of novel quantum phases in low-dimensional materials.

Molleigh Preefer
Associate Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioDr. Molleigh Preefer is an Associate Staff Scientist at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL). She initially worked at SSRL as a postdoctoral researcher using X-rays to study batteries through a combination of microscopy, diffraction, and spectroscopy. Her current research focus as associate staff scientist is studying electrochemical systems and synthesis, with a particular interest in enabling operando X-ray experiments when materials are pushed far from equilibrium. In addition to her research interests, she supports the transmission X-ray microscopy beamline (BL6-2) and the battery user program on the diffraction beamlines within the Materials Sciences Division.
