She held the position of senior scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, working in the field of atomic, molecular, and optical physics. She was recruited in 1995 to the position of Associate Director for Basic Energy Sciences in the Office of Science, with the Program budget rising from approximately $600M in FY 1994 to the President's request of $1.5B in FY 2008. During the period that she led Basic Energy Sciences, the world's most powerful spallation neutron source was conceived and built, under budget, ahead of schedule, and with increased scope. She has shepherded the construction of the Linac Coherent Light Source at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and the National Synchrotron Light Source II at Brookhaven National Laboratory. She has built the structure and hired the personnel that have made Basic Energy Sciences a powerful element in the nation's scientific portfolio.</div><div><br></div><div>We hope you will join us!</div><div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
