Uta Ruett
Senior Staff Scientist, Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource
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). -

Affiliate, Ginzton, E.L. Laboratory
Visiting Scholar, Ginzton, E.L. LaboratoryBioDaniel Rugar is visiting scholar at Stanford University working with Professor Amir Safavi-Naeini. He retired from IBM Research in 2024, finishing as Principal Research Scientist and Manager of Exploratory Quantum Devices at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California. He previously served as an IBM Distinguished Research Staff Member and Manager of Nanoscale Studies.
Dr. Rugar received his B.A. in Physics from Pomona College in 1975 and his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University in 1982. He was co-recipient of the Günther Laukien Prize for the development of magnetic resonance force microscopy and was awarded the Cozzarelli Prize from the Proceedings of the National Acacademy of Sciences. He has served as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Magnetic Society. More recently, he was awarded the 2022 APS Keithley Award in Measurement Science. Dr. Rugar is a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
