[All_jlau] Jefferson Lab Names Pilat As Deputy Associate Director for the Accelerator Division

[Dean Golembeski]

Colleagues:

It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Dr. Fulvia 
Pilat as the new deputy associate director for the Accelerator Division.

As many of you may know, Fulvia is a physicist at Brookhaven National 
Laboratory, where she helped design, commission and run Brookhaven's 
largest accelerator, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). 
Currently, she is head of operations for RHIC and its injector 
accelerators.

Overseeing a staff of about 30, Fulvia is responsible for the smooth 
operations and system maintenance of the 2.4 mile-round collider and 
three smaller accelerators that prepare ions for acceleration to nearly 
the speed of light in RHIC.

In addition, Fulvia is the coordinator of the Accelerator Physics 
Experimental Program at RHIC, in which she leads physicists and 
engineers who develop new techniques and instrumentation for the better 
operation of RHIC and future accelerators.

Born in Trieste, Italy, Fulvia received her Ph.D. in physics from the 
University of Trieste in 1986. She began her physics career at CERN, the 
European laboratory for particle physics in Geneva, Switzerland. After 
six years at CERN, Fulvia came to the U.S. to work on the 
Superconducting Supercollider in Texas. She also worked at Los Alamos 
National Laboratory before joining Brookhaven in 1994. She was promoted 
to her current position in 2005.

Fulvia will join Jefferson Lab on a part-time basis beginning in January 
2010 as she winds down her responsibilities at Brookhaven and assume 
full-time duties at Jefferson Lab in early summer 2010.
