Three researchers from The University of New Mexico School of Engineering are giving talks at the American Physical Society's March meeting in Chicago this week.
Sandra Biedron, a research professor in both the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, will give a talk on her team's research funded by Brookhaven National Laboratory in the "Ion Coulomb Crystals in Storage Rings for Quantum Information Science" in the hybrid/macroscopic quantum systems, Optomechanics and AMO systems session.
Mariana Fazio, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will give a talk in the autonomous systems session on their team's Department of Energy EPSCoR program called "Autonomous anomaly detection in MeV ultrafast electron diffraction.”
Christine Sweeney, a graduate student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will give a talk on her research titled "High-Performance Single-Particle Imaging Reconstruction on Pre-Exascale Computing Platforms," in the Building the Bridge to Exascale: Applications and Opportunities for Materials, Chemistry and Biology II session.
Biedron, who is a fellow of the American Physical Society, is an advisor to the physical sciences associate laboratory director at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) on accelerator science, technology and engineering, as well as next-generation X-ray light sources for national security applications. She also was recently elected as a member-at-large for the American Physical Society's division of the physics of beams.
Fazio was recently elected as a member at large for the American Physical Society's forum on diversity and inclusion, as well as the forum for early-career scientists.
Sweeney has worked at LANL since 2000 and is a scientist and deputy team leader of the programming models team within the applied computer science group.
