Vince Cianciolo Portrait

Vince Cianciolo

Distinguished R&D Staff Member

I was born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit and went to school at the University of Michigan and MIT. I've been in the ORNL Physics Division since 1997, initially working on the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Since 2009 my work has focused on precision experiments at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Fundamental Neutron Physics Beamline. My interests outside of work include keeping up with my wife and kids, construction work for Habitat for Humanity, hiking and craft beer (these days drinking more than brewing).
