NSLS Chairman, Steve Dierker, Appointed Associate Lab Director
for the Light Sources Directorate
 On June 5, 2003, BNL
Laboratory Director, Praveen Chaudhari, announced the appointment of
NSLS Chairman, Steven Dierker, as the Associate Laboratory Director
for the Light Sources Directorate. Steve will retain his present
role as Chairman of the current NSLS.
During the last two years, Steve has led the NSLS through a
restructuring and subsequent growth phase, while at the same time
helping to develop and lead the efforts to propose a new light
source, NSLS-II.
The NSLS-II Project represents the next major step in BNL's long
history of building and operating world-class scientific facilities.
Its outstanding capabilities are expected to have enormous impact in
the life sciences, materials and chemical sciences, nanoscience,
geoscience, environmental science, and other areas. "The success of
the NSLS-II Project is vital to the continuing prosperity of
synchrotron science at the Lab and in the Northeast," Chaudhari
said. "I am, therefore, pleased to announce the creation of a new
science directorate at the laboratory, the Light Sources
Directorate, devoted to operation of the current NSLS and the
development and construction of NSLS-II."
