[All_jlau] Message from Hugh Montgomery: Announcement of JLab Deputy Director-Science

[Pat Stroop]

Dear Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to inform you that Dr. Robert D. McKeown has  
agreed to serve as Laboratory Deputy Director-Science here at  
Jefferson Lab.

Many of you know Bob, who was active at Jefferson Lab for many years  
and who served as chair of the JLab Users Group Board of Directors in  
1990-91.

He has been a Professor of Physics at the California Institute of  
Technology for many years; his research interests have included  
studies of weak interactions in nuclei, neutrino oscillations, parity- 
violating electron scattering, and the electromagnetic structure of  
nuclei and nucleons.

Bob also will take up a Governor's Distinguished CEBAF Professorship  
appointment at the College of William Mary.

Bob received a B.S. in 1974 from Stony Brook University in Stony  
Brook, NY, and a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1979. After one  
year on the scientific staff at Argonne National Laboratory, he took a  
position as Assistant Professor of Physics at the California Institute  
of Technology. He became an Associate Professor in 1986 and Professor  
in 1992.

In 1984, Bob was given a National Science Foundation Presidential  
Young Investigator award; he was the Alexander M. Cruickshank Lecturer  
at the 1999 Gordon Conference on Nuclear Physics, and is a Fellow of  
the American Physical Society. He has served on the Nuclear Science  
Advisory Committee and the Physical Review C editorial board, in  
addition to advisory committees at Brookhaven National Laboratory and  
Fermilab.

Most recently, he received the 2009 Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear  
Physics from the American Physical Society. The awardrecognizes and  
encourages “outstanding experimental research in nuclear physics,  
including the development of a method, technique, or device that  
significantly contributes in a general way to nuclear physics research.”

We are looking forward to Bob joining us on May 1.

Mont
