[E&E seminars] Special Seminar - Wednesday - Dr. Pat Dehmer, DOE: Facing Our Energy Challenges in a New Era of Science

[Jameson Twomey]

Good afternoon, all.

We are pleased to announce a special seminar this Wednesday featuring  
Dr. Pat Dehmer, Deputy Director of Science Programs at the Department  
of Energy. Please contact Jeff McAulay (jmc3 at mit.edu) for additional  
information.

Facing Our Energy Challenges in a New Era of Science

Wednesday, November 5th
Time: 4:30-5:30
Room: 34-101

Dr. Pat Dehmer has extensive experience in research and in  
administration. 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.

We hope you will join us!
