Jocelyn Richardson
Assoc Sci - BER Bio Sci, Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource
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 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).
