[All_jlab_accounts] Amber Boehnlein begins as CIO

[John Warren]

Message sent on behalf of Lab Director Hugh Montgomery 

I am pleased to announce that Amber Boehnlein is Jefferson Lab’s new Chief Information Officer and Associate Director for the Information Technology Division. Amber began her duties on June 22. 

Prior to arriving at Jefferson Lab, she has been Head of Scientific Computing Applications at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory since 2011, where she gained expertise in computational physics relevant to light sources and large-scale databases for astrophysics, as well as overseeing the hardware computing systems for the HEP program. 

Before SLAC, she also served a three-year assignment as the Department of Energy’s Office of High Energy Physics program manager for the U.S. Large Hadron Collider Detector Operations program. During that time, she also managed three Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing, or SciDAC, programs in the HEP office. Prior to the DOE assignment, Boehnlein worked at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory as a staff scientist in the Computing Division, ultimately being responsible for the computing and application support for all Fermilab-based experiments. From 1991-2013, Boehnlein was a member of the DØ experimental collaboration at Fermilab, which included serving as the collaboration’s computing and software coordinator from 1999-2006. 

Amber has a particular interest in issues concerning the management and use of research data. She serves on national and international advisory boards in areas related to research computing and particle physics. 

Please join me in greeting Amber and congratulating her on her new position. 

I would also like to extend a warm thank you to Andy Kowalski, who served as the Acting Associate Director for the IT Division since Aug. 5, 2014. His dedication and hard work in providing leadership for the IT Division is very much appreciated. Andy will continue to serve as the lab’s Computing and Networking Infrastructure Manager, a position that he has held for more than 10 years.
