Rimvydas Baltaduonis
Project Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioRimvydas Baltaduonis, Ph.D., - Rim - works as a Project Scientist with the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory’s GISMo team at Stanford University. He is also an Associate Professor in the Economics Department at Gettysburg College and co-directs Gettysburg Lab for Experimental Economics (GLEE). While being a longtime affiliate of the Institute for Regulatory Law & Economics (IRLE), Dr. Baltaduonis also worked as a Visiting Senior Research Scholar at Columbia’s Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) during 2019-2020 academic year and a Visiting Senior Scholar at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) from 2015 to 2017. Baltaduonis' broad areas of research interest are industrial organization, energy and environmental economics, energy security, experimental and behavioral economics. His current research focuses on the design and behavior of electric power markets. He also conducts workshops on laboratory economics experiments designed to inform energy policy. At Gettysburg College, he taught Industrial Organization, Energy & Security, Energy Economics and Experimental Economics. The National Science Foundation, the International Foundation for Research in Experimental Economics (IFREE) and the Australian Research Council have supported his research. Prior to assuming his faculty position at Gettysburg College, Baltaduonis was an IFREE Visiting Post-doctoral Fellow in the Interdisciplinary Center for Economic Science at George Mason University and later at the Economics Science Institute at Chapman University. He earned his PhD and MA in Economics from the University of Connecticut and a BSc in Economics from Vilnius University in Lithuania.

Sandra Beauvarlet
Visiting Physicist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioPostdoctoral Researcher and Visiting Scholar specialized in ultrafast laser-matter interaction.
My PhD research focused on investigating molecular chirality through the interaction of electrons with laser pulses at the femtosecond and attosecond timescale via the PhotoElectron Circular and ELliptical Dichroism (PECD and PEELD). This finality demanded several laser source and metrology developments such as : (i) Performed frequency conversion up to the 4th harmonic of an Amplitude System Tangerine Yb-fiber short pulse laser at 1030 nm and used its Optical Parametric Amplifier to generate short pulse continuously tunable source. (ii) Engineered various polarization schemes ranging from the simplicity of 1 color pulse circularly polarized to the complexity of 2 non-colinear sets of two-color orthogonally polarized pulses with an active sub-cycle delay stabilization. (iii) Contributed to low-loss capillary-based visible pulse compression at the Yb-fiber laser's second harmonic (515nm) and built the FROG instrument to measure sub-15 fs pulses. (iv) Build and tuned UV attosecond table-top sources using the process of High Harmonic Generation (HHG). (v) Developed 2D and 3D electron spectroscopy instruments (VMI, COLTRIMS) and algorithmS notably using Fourier Transform, Abel inversion, Radon transform...
My postdoctoral research focus extended to the physics of X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) at LCLS and broadened to the use of these X-ray attosecond pulses to drive ultrafast dynamics in atoms and molecules. My current work and interest focus on electron/ion spectroscopy (MBES), absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction probing Charge Migration, Ring Opening, Isomerization, Conical Intersections, Raman Scattering ... but also enhance the collected data quality using variability to our advantage through Covariance approaches and ghost imaging based Machine Learning procedure to improve attosecond spectroscopy.
