Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJens-ole Hansen is a Staff Scientist at Jefferson Lab with 24 years of experience in experimental nuclear physics, specializing in few-body systems and nucleon electromagnetic form factors. He combines deep domain expertise with practical technical skills in Monte Carlo simulation (primarily Geant4), event reconstruction, and scientific data analysis, and is fluent in C++ and Linux system administration. As the Hall A liaison to the lab’s Scientific Computing group, he manages computing resource allocation and forecasts needs for high-luminosity, high-resolution experiments. He will contribute to the MOLLER parity-violation search while supporting the broad Hall C program, blending precision measurement goals with large-scale computing requirements. His background also includes hands-on work with polarized 3He optical-pumping targets and Cherenkov detectors, reflecting a rare mix of hardware, software, and operations experience.
