[All_jlau] Rolf Ent appointed Jefferson Lab Associate Director for Experimental Nuclear Physics

/Message sent on behalf of Hugh Montgomery:

We are delighted to announce that Rolf Ent has accepted the position as 
Jefferson Lab's Associate Director for Experimental Nuclear Physics. The 
appointment will become effective on November 1, when Rolf will make the 
transition from his current Acting AD status.

The appointment follows an extensive search and a thorough review of 
exceptional candidates from around the world by a search committee 
jointly chaired by Bob McKeown (Jefferson Lab) and Don Geesaman (Argonne 
National Lab) and whose members included Jefferson Lab staff and other 
distinguished members of the international nuclear physics community.

Since joining Jefferson Lab's staff in 1993, Rolf has served in a number 
of leadership positions. He has worked closely with all members of the 
Jefferson Lab community, including Users, postdoctoral fellows and 
students, as well as members of the engineering, technical and physics 
staff.

Rolf served as Hall C leader, before taking on leadership roles in the 
12 GeV Upgrade project and the lab's proposed Electron-Ion Collider 
design. He started at Jefferson Lab as a Hall C staff scientist, while 
also working as an associate professor at Hampton University. While at 
Hampton University, he served as associate director for experimental 
research at the Nuclear/High Energy Physics Research Center of Excellence.

Rolf began his research career at NIKHEF in 1985, where, for his 
dissertation, he started an electron-induced cluster knockout program to 
investigate two- and more-nucleon correlations in nuclei. His 1989-1990 
postdoctoral research at CERN (with the University of Virginia) was 
connected with the development of the polarized solid state target, 
which was used in measurements of the spin structure functions of the 
proton and neutron.

In 1990, Rolf began research at MIT, focusing on a broad program of 
scattering measurements, usually with polarized targets at Bates Lab, 
Indiana University Cyclotron Facility, NIKHEF and SLAC.This expertise 
gained served him well in commissioning the Hall C apparatus with the 
start of CEBAF operations.

Rolf has developed programs to understand the dual description of 
electron-nucleus scattering with quark and nucleon degrees of freedom.

Rolf earned his B.S. in 1985 and his Ph.D. in 1989 at the Free 
University Amsterdam/NIKHEF. He has authored more than 120 papers 
published in refereed journals. He also has served on organizing 
committees for many different workshops/conferences, on review 
committees, and as spokesperson for several experiments. He has taught 
select courses at MIT, the Free University of Amsterdam, and Hampton 
University.
