Stephen A. Gourlay

Stephen A. Gourlay (M'06) received the Ph.D. degree in high energy physics from the University of California, Davis, in 1985. In 1988, he joined the Fermilab Advanced Magnet R&D Group. In 1995, he was head of the Superconducting Magnet Group at Fermilab, working on the development of high gradient quadrupoles for the Large Hadron Collider. After working as a Scientific Associate at CERN in 1996–1997, he moved to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). from 2001 until 2005, he was head of the Superconducting Magnet R&D Group, working on high field Nb3Sn dipoles for future accelerators and head of the magnet activities of the LHC Accelerator Research Program, a collaboration of four U.S. laboratories and CERN. In March 2006, he was named Director of the Accelerator and Fusion Research Division at LBNL.
