Bio
Abdurahim Oguz received his PhD in Physics from Syracuse University in 2011. His PhD research was performed at the Physics Division of the Jefferson Lab on developing high power green laser based precision Compton Polarimetry for low energy electron beams. After completing two post-doctoral appointments at Penn State University and University of Tennessee, he joined ORNL Research Accelerator Division as a Laser and Optical Physicist in 2017. Currently, he is leading the laser and optical technology development efforts for several key R&D projects that include laser assisted charge exchange (LACE) injection, stripper foil temperature measurements, novel optical beam diagnostic methods for Ring Injection Dump and Target Imaging System for Second Target Station etc. He is a member of the American Physical Society (APS), Optica (formerly known as Optical Society of America) and International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE).
