Summary
Hunter Presley is a nuclear physics researcher and instrument developer with nine years of hands-on experience building and commissioning experiments at national labs. Currently a postdoctoral research associate after a PhD at the University of Virginia, he has led commissioning, running, and analysis for the GEn-II experiment in Jefferson Lab’s Hall A and specializes in NMR and EPR spectroscopy. He has a strong experimental toolkit that spans LabVIEW-based control systems, polarized 3He target production and characterization, detector calibration, and run-plan implementation. As a DOE SCGSR fellow he upgraded and validated polarized 3He targets at JLab, blending precision instrumentation with practical operations under beam conditions. Based in Charlottesville, VA, Hunter pairs deep lab skills with collaborative experience across university and national-lab teams, often stepping into both software and hardware roles to keep complex experiments on track.
