Spencer Gessner
Assistant Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics
BioDr. Spencer Gessner is an Assistant Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University. Dr. Gessner was previously a Staff Scientist at SLAC researching plasma wakefield acceleration at FACET-II, and a Fellow at CERN on the AWAKE proton beam-driven plasma acceleration experiment. Dr. Gessner earned a Ph.D. from Stanford University studying the acceleration of positron beams in plasma. Dr. Gessner is currently coordinating the US 10 TeV Wakefield Collider Design Study and is broadly involved in research on future colliders from Higgs Factories to future Energy Frontier machines.

Julia L Gonski
Panofsky Fellowship 2023, Fundamental Physics Directorate
Current Role at StanfordI'm a Panofsky Fellow at SLAC and a high energy experimental physicist working on the ATLAS Experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. My background spans Rutgers (B.S.), Harvard (Ph.D.), and Columbia (postdoc), and my work lives at the intersection of particle physics, machine learning, and advanced microelectronics. My group builds AI-enabled big data pipelines to search for exotic new physics, with a particular focus on anomaly detection and unsupervised ML. We also specialize in fast, power-efficient algorithms using novel hardware platforms for next-generation scientific infrastructure, from future colliders to quantum systems.
