Ryan D Ribson
Associate Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Current Role at StanfordI am currently an Associate Scientist in the LCLS Biological Sciences Department. I support condensed phase chemistry experiments at LCLS with a focus on hard and tender X-ray spectroscopies. I also work to develop research that applies hard and tender X-ray spectroscopic techniques to understanding enzymatic catalysis and studying ultrafast dynamics in inorganic and organic chromophores relevant for solar energy conversion and photocatalysis.

Jocelyn Richardson
Associate Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am an Associate Scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, where I explore the intersection of biology and the environment. My research delves into the biogeochemical processes that govern the cycling of essential elements like phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and potassium (K). With expertise in X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) imaging and tender energy X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), I apply these advanced techniques to a diverse range of systems. At SSRL, I contribute to enhancing outreach and engagement with the biological and environmental research communities, offering training and fostering collaboration with both new and experienced users of advanced X-ray methods.
Before joining SSRL, I earned my PhD from Washington University in St. Louis, where my research focused on the geochemical signatures of sulfur in Ordovician marine sediments, employing a combination of sedimentology, bulk geochemistry, and microanalytical techniques. I am originally from Scotland and obtained my BSc in Geology from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. -

Uta Ruett
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioUta Ruett is an expert in high-energy x-ray diffraction. Her research is dedicated to developing methods and instrumentation for in situ and operando structural analysis at x-ray user facilities. Her scientific interests cover a wide range of diffraction applications, including solid-state physics, synthesis of new materials, catalysis, and electrochemistry. In recent years, her primary focus has been on the structural analysis of disordered thin films and interfaces.
Uta Ruett received her diploma in Physics from the University of Hamburg, Germany, in 1993, and her Ph.D. in Physics from the same institution in 1996. She began her postdoctoral research at Northern Illinois University before becoming an assistant scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. She then worked at the Max-Planck-Institute for Solid-State Physics in Stuttgart, Germany, before joining DESY in Hamburg, Germany, as a staff scientist and later as a Beamline Manager at PETRA III, DESY, Germany. In 2017, Uta Ruett accepted the position of group leader at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), where she oversaw the development and research program of five high-energy x-ray scattering beamlines. In 2024, she joined SLAC as a senior advisor for future projects at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL). -

John Louis Sarrao
Director of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Professor of Photon Science, Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy and Professor, by courtesy, of Materials Science and Engineering
BioJohn Sarrao became SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory’s sixth director in October 2023. The lab’s ~2,000 staff advance the frontiers of science by exploring how the universe works at the biggest, smallest, and fastest scales and invent powerful tools used by scientists around the globe. SLAC’s research helps solve real-world problems and advances the interests of the nation. SLAC is operated by Stanford University for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. It is home to three Office of Science national user facilities: the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world’s most powerful X-ray laser; the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL); and the Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests, (FACET-II). SLAC hosts thousands of users each year and manages an annual budget of ~$700M. In addition to his role as lab director, John is a professor of photon science, and by courtesy, of materials science and engineering at Stanford University, a senior fellow at Stanford’s Precourt Institute, and dean of SLAC faculty.
John came to SLAC from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, where he served as the deputy director for science, technology, and engineering. In that role, he led multiple directorates, including chemistry, earth and life sciences, global security, physical sciences, and simulation and computation. He also stewarded technology transitions and served as LANL’s chief research officer in support of its national security mission. Before becoming deputy director, he served as associate director for theory, simulation, and computation and division leader for materials physics and applications at LANL.
John’s scientific research focus is superconductivity in materials. He studies the synthesis and characterization of correlated electron systems, especially actinide materials. He won the 2013 Department of Energy’s E.O. Lawrence Award and is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Physical Society, and LANL. John received his PhD and master’s degree in physics from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a bachelor’s degree in physics from Stanford University. -
