Ben Reinhart
Associate Physicist, Chief Design Engineer 

Previous experience/research at Advanced Photon Source: X-ray backscattering experiments to measure thermal expansion coefficients of pure Ge-isotopes with application to establish a length standard of measurement on the atomic scale.

Design and characterization of a crystal harmonic rejection system to be used to filter out undesirable harmonics from synchrotron beamlines.

Tochko Tzvetkov Ph.D. in Physics
Data Infrastructure Specialist
 
More than 15 years of experience in design and automatic control of high-tech research equipment and experiments. Designed space mission experiments for AFOSR and NASA projects (MISSE 5 and MISSE 6). Responsible for machine control and data management software.

Daniel P. Fogarty Ph.D.
Technical Project Leader, X-ray Instrumentation Specialist

Over 10 years of experience designing, fabricating, and demonstrating cutting-edge instrumentation; specifically, multiple scanning tunneling microscopes—including the first ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscope coupled to a molecular beam source, ultra-high vacuum components, and the first laboratory based diffraction-enhanced x-ray imaging (DEXI) instrument.  Notable leadership and management background (8 years experience).
