Dear Guest,

Welcome and thank you for participating in the eighth annual Early Career Researcher Symposium (ECRS), presented by the Association of Students and Postdocs (ASAP).

This symposium is a showcase of the exceptional research that is performed by students and postdocs at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Today the BNL early career researcher community will present their recent work through 40 oral presentations and 20 posters. A career panel and a distinguished keynote lecture will complement this display of work.

Dr. Berndt Mueller, Associate Laboratory Director for Nuclear & Particle Physics, will give the opening remarks. The career panel will feature numerous professionals across a wide range of scientific backgrounds where students and postdocs will have the opportunity to learn from their experience. In the afternoon, Dr. Ashley Head, staff scientist at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials, will address the symposium. Laboratory Director Doon Gibbs will deliver the award ceremony and closing remarks, which will be followed by a networking reception.

The symposium was organized by a group of students and postdocs whose work and generous donation of time show great dedication to their fellow researchers. Financial support was provided by the sponsors listed on the back cover of this program. We encourage you to visit their booths throughout the day and explore the links provided on the ECRS website (https://www.bnl.gov/ecrs2019/sponsors.php). ASAP is an organization dedicated to ensuring a high quality of life for early career researchers at BNL. It is funded by Brookhaven Science Associates and supported by senior staff members. The ASAP board recognizes the importance of professional development to its members and it is in this spirit that we present the ECRS. Thank you for your participation and support for the ECRS. We hope that you enjoy your day.

Sincerely,

The ASAP Board

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Dr. Ashley HeadAshley Head is a staff scientist at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials. She supports users of infrared spectroscopy and ambient pressure X-ray photoelec-tron spectroscopy instrumentation. Additionally, she conducts her own research program focuses on understanding atomic layer deposition mechanisms and het-erogeneous catalysis with metal organic frameworks.

Ashley received her Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from James Madison University in 2005. For a year she worked in the quality control lab of a milk and dairy creamer factory before returning to graduate school. In 2006 she received her PhD in physical chemistry, studying the gas phase electronic structure of mol-ecules. Exhausted from graduate school, she taught general chemistry lab courses at Howard County Community College in Maryland for a year. Refreshed from a break in research, Ashley spent 2 years as a postdoc in at Lund University in Sweden learning about synchrotrons and surface science. Wanting to return to the US, Ashley accepted a second postdoctoral position at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory where she studied how nerve agent simulants adsorbed onto model systems of gas mask filtration materials. She also had a daughter during this three-year postdoc appointment. In January 2018, she joined Brookhaven National Laboratory at the CFN.
