Gary and Yong joining Barney and Del as CAARI co-chairs
Gary A. Glass of the University of North Texas and Yongqiang Wang of Los Alamos National Laboratory are joining Barney and Del as Co Chairs of CAARI-2012.
2012 will then be a year of transition for CAARI, as we welcome Yong and Gary on board, and anticipate them taking over as the principle chairs of CAARI in the future. This is extremely good news for CAARI as it insures the continued viability of this important and unique meeting, that all of us in this community have relied on, in many cases for decades, to keep abreast of developments in accelerator physics and applications. We on the organizing committee (i.e. Del, Barney, Carley, Karen and Holly) would like to take this opportunity to welcome Gary and Yong on board, and look forward to working with them over the next year.

| Dr. Gary A. Glass is a Professor of
Physics at the University of North Texas (UNT) working in the Ion
Beam Modification and Analysis Laboratory (IBMAL). For more than
three decades his research has encompassed a wide range of topics
utilizing several types of electrostatic accelerators but he has
concentrated on high energy focused ion beam (HEFIB) techniques for
bio-systems microanalysis, microfabrication and development of HEFIB
systems. He is a patent co-inventor of a HEFIB nanoprobe system. Gary completed a B.S. and M.S. in Physics from the University of Southwestern Louisiana and his Ph.D. degree in physics from The University of Tennessee in 1984, performing research in ion-atom collisions using the EN Tandem at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. After completing his Ph.D., he worked as a Research Physicist at the Naval Surface Weapons Center - White Oak and before coming to UNT he was the Dr. and Mrs. Sammie W. Cosper/BORSF Endowed Professor of Physics at The University of Louisiana at Lafayette where he was also the Director of the Louisiana Accelerator Center and served as the UL Lafayette Radiation Safety Officer. Gary has participated in every CAARI conference since 1980 and has served as invited speaker, session chair, and topic proceedings editor. He is author or co-author of more than 100 peer reviewed publications and is an Associate Editor for Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids Incorporating Plasma Science and Plasma Technology. |
Dr. Yongqiang Wang has been the team
leader for the Ion Beam Materials Laboratory (IBML) in Division of
Materials Science and Technology at Los Alamos National Laboratory
since 2003. He obtained his Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. degrees in nuclear physics from Lanzhou University in China and has worked in the field of ion beam applications in materials research for more than two decades, with main interests in ion beam materials analysis, ion beam modification of materials, and ion irradiation damage effects in materials. Over the years, he has used and maintained a variety of electrostatic accelerators (NEC pelletrons and General Ionex) and ion implanters (IBM, Varian, and Danfysik) in Los Alamos, University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, University of Louisiana – Lafayette, Missouri State University, and Lanzhou University. He is an author or co-author of 140 peer-reviewed publications, including three invited book chapters, one US Patent, and one Handbook on Modern Ion Beam Materials Analysis. Since his first CAARI in 1990, Yongqiang has been an active participant in CAARI series by giving presentations, chairing sessions, and more recently as the topic editor for radiation effects topic area. |
