Chi-Chang Kao Named Chair of the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven Lab

10-10-2006 · Brookhaven National Laboratory

Chi-Chang Kao, a physicist and leader in synchrotron light research, has been named Chair of the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) Department, effective October 1. Kao had served as interim NSLS Chair since mid-January, after Steve Dierker stepped down to lead the development of the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a proposed scientific user facility that would produce x-rays more than 10,000 times brighter than the current NSLS.
