Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Mong is a Staff Scientist at SLAC with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and operating low-background physics experiments, specializing in spectroscopy, cryogenics, vacuum systems, and precision instrumentation. He progressed from undergraduate hardware work on storm-probing balloon payloads through a Ph.D. blending AMO and high-energy techniques to postdoctoral Monte Carlo and instrumentation efforts for the EXO neutrinoless double-beta-decay program. At SLAC he manages operations for EXO-200 and contributes at the intersection of experiment design, machining, and custom software/controls, bringing rare cross-disciplinary fluency. Colleagues value his ability to translate instinct born of diverse lab experience into practical solutions across electronics, cryogenics, and data analysis. Based in Palo Alto, he combines academic rigor with pragmatic project leadership to keep complex experiments running and improving. He’s equally comfortable writing code and operating machine tools, a blend that keeps experiments both precise and operable.
