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). -

Erica Marie Rutherford
Data Wrangler, Biomedical Data Science
BioMy career spanning nine years as a data curator has given me a lot of experience and perspective into the workings of scientific data and metadata, and its organization. During my time before graduate school, I attained experience on a variety of fieldwork projects in ecology (2008-2013). During these temporary seasonal assignments, the importance of precision and care in data collection was impressed in me. When I went to graduate school at San Francisco State University (2013-2016), I gained experience in all parts of a molecular biology experiment, from fieldwork to labwork to data analysis. After graduation, I worked at a microbiome focused startup company, Second Genome, as their data curator (2016-2021). While there, I was responsible for curation of metadata for both internal studies for R&D and for clients, and for external studies being brought in for our internal Knowledgebase. While there, I developed an appreciate for ontologies, and developed a custom Second Genome Ontology to handle our metadata. I moved on to the Lattice group, located at Stanford University, where I continued to expand my skills in data curation (2021-present). I have gained experience in handling single cell datasets and their associated metadata, and curating them to meet precise standards. I strive to work collaboratively with data contributors in order to ensure FAIR data standards.
