Magnetism Reflectometer - Other Contributors

Non beam-line staff who contribute to the development of the Magnetism Reflectometer:

Electrical Engineer: Andre Parizzi

Parizzi portraitAndre Parizzi was one of Beam Line 4A's electrical engineers.  Andre Parizzi is a member of the Data Acquisition System and Controls Group at the SNS and is involved in designing new “best in class” neutron instrumentation for the SNS since 2000. Prior to joining the ORNL, he held positions and had research and advisory appointments in the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Porto Alegre, Brazil), HTW-Dresden (Dresden, Germany), HMI (Berlin, Germany) and Mirrotron Ltd. (Budapest, Hungary). Before specializing in neutron instrumentation, Andre also worked with industrial automation, analog electronics and software development for several companies in South America. He holds an Electrical Engineering B.S. degree and an Electrical Engineering M.S. degree in Polarized Neutron Instrumentation from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil).


Mechanical Engineer: Tim Chae

Chae portraitTim Chae was Beam Line 4A's mechanical engineer. Tim Chae has been involved in the SNS project since 2000 and was also involved in design of the Target Module, Proton Beam window, and the Inner Reflector Plug. Prior to joining the ORNL, he also worked at Eastman Chemical Company as a R&D Mechanical Engineer. He has a B.S. and a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Carolina.





Non-beam line staff who have made significant contributions to the construction and development of the Magnetism Reflectometer:

Dr. Frank Klose

Frank Klose photo Beam Line 4A's first instrument scientist was Frank Klose.  Dr. Klose was a Senior Scientist in the Neutron Scattering Science Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).  He has more than 15 years of experience in basic research on thin magnetic film systems using polarized synchrotron and neutron beams and joined the SNS Project at ORNL in 1999. As an instrument scientist he was responsible for design, construction and operation of the SNS Magnetism Reflectometer. Besides the reactor based facilities at the Hahn Meitner Institute Berlin and the Institute Laue Langevin, Grenoble, he extensively used synchrotron beam lines at LURE, Orsay, University of Paris-Sud as well as pulsed neutron beam lines at IPNS, Argonne National Laboratory for his research. One of his main research interests is developing neutron scattering instrumentation with emphasis on innovative use of polarized neutrons.

Dr. Klose has a Diploma and a Ph.D. in physics from University of Goettingen, Germany. His training was in the area of condensed matter physics. His work was awarded with the thesis prize of University of Goettingen in 1993 and with a fellowship from the German Science Foundation for a research visit at Argonne National Laboratory in 1996/1997. Dr. Klose is member of the American and German Physical Societies and member of the American, German and Swiss Neutron Scattering Societies.
