Deputy Director of SLAC
From: SLAC Director
It is my great pleasure to announce that, effective immediately, Professor
Gregory Loew is appointed Deputy Director of SLAC. This appointment is
particularly appropriate, given that Greg has, with great skill, been
filling this position unofficially for the past year.
Greg brings to the position of Deputy Director dedicated service in a
variety of roles at Stanford followed by 40 years at SLAC which encompass
almost all areas of the Laboratory. He was intimately involved in the
construction and commissioning of the SLAC linac, and has contributed
continuously to its evolution from a 16 GeV electron accelerator to its
present 50 GeV capability to accelerate positrons and polarized electrons.
Greg enjoys an international reputation as an outstanding accelerator
scientist, in particular with regard to linear accelerators. On the
management side, Greg has been the Technical Division Deputy Director for 21
years and the Technical Division Assistant Director for Technical Support
for seven years. In addition he has served all three Directors in the role
as Chargé d'Affaires, overseeing the visits of dignitaries and providing a
critical point of contact with foreign governments.
In assuming the role of Deputy Director, Greg will step down as the
Technical Division Deputy Director and Assistant Director for Technical
Support.
Please join me in warmly congratulating Greg on his new position. Anything
that you can do to make his difficult task easier will be much appreciated.
