Stefan L. Oliver
Lead Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioStefan Oliver is a creative senior scientist and educator with a special interest in the membrane fusion mechanisms of viral pathogens. Stefan uses and develops multidisciplinary approaches to delineate the molecular functions that underpin the mechanics of herpesvirus fusion. Recently he has been focused on solving near atomic resolution structures of antibody-bound glycoproteins using contemporary cryo-EM technologies. One of his overarching goals is to understand the complex interplay of the herpesvirus fusion complex with cellular factors at the atomic level using state-of-the-art structural biology tools.
In addition to his dedication to lab-based science, Stefan is involved in community outreach supporting scientists of the future. He participates as a judge for science competitions and also lectures to high school students about STEM. He is a strong advocate for the scientific method and seeks to get the best out of his mentees at all stages of their careers, guiding high school students and postdocs through their research projects.
Stefan’s educational background includes a B.Sc. in Immunology and a Ph.D. in Veterinary Virology. He has spent more than 25 years in academic and biotechnology research laboratories in fields spanning immunology, pharmaceuticals, infectious diseases and structural biology. Special interests outside of his primary field of research are evolution and motorcycles. Stefan was the recipient of an American Motorcycling Association (AMA) Service award for providing information related to COVID-19. -

Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioMy research interests lie at the intersection of materials science and condensed matter physics. I work on thin film synthesis of oxide and metal systems by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). Applications range from answering fundamental physics questions about high temperature superconductivity to developing practical synthesis routines and new materials for next generation electron sources. In addition, I work on projects involving spectroscopic probes of thin film systems, including angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) measurements.

Laura Pereira Sanchez
Postdoctoral Scholar, Particle Physics and Astrophysics, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioThe composition of the Universe and the interplay of its various forces and matter have always fascinated me. My journey into particle physics began when I joined the ATLAS Collaboration during master's. Since then, I have analyzed data from proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where I've been looking for novel particles and deviations from theoretical predictions. At Stanford, I study the shape of the Higgs potential. I apply state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to measure the production of Higgs boson pairs using data from the ongoing LHC run and study if the shape of the Higgs potential differs considerably from that predicted by the Standard Model (SM). Furthermore, I work on the upgrade of the ATLAS inner-tracking detector for the future High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), which will be crucial to study the Higgs potential if its shape aligns with the SM predictions.

Michael Peskin
Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics
BioI am a theoretical physicist interested in elementary particles and the fundamental interactions. My main research interests are:
* consequences of the "Standard Model of particle physics"
* precision study of the heaviest known elementary particles - the W and Z bosons, the top quark, and the Higgs boson - to search for clues to new fundamental interactions beyond the Standard Model
* models of such new interactions, especially models with composite or strongly interacting Higgs bosons
* models for the particle that composes the dark matter of the universe
I am the author of a leading theoretical textbook in this area, "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory", with Daniel Schroeder. Recently, I have written another textbook that emphasizes our experimental knowledge, "Concepts of Elementary Particle Physics".
