<h2>Science Advisory Committee </h2> <p class="font-plus-3">The NSLS-II Science Advisory Committee (SAC) is responsible for advising the NSLS-II Director on issues related to the scientific utilization of NSLS-II facilities and on developments required to achieve and maintain the highest possible scientific productivity. </p> <p>SAC provides advice on the following topics.</p> <ul> <li>Scientific output and utilization of NSLS-II facilities </li> <li>Long-term scientific directions </li> <li>Planning, development, and operation of NSLS-II facilities </li> <li>Policies and procedures relevant to user access and utilization of scientific facilities</li> </ul> <p>Members are appointed by the Director for three-year terms, renewable by mutual consent. The Chair of the NSLS-II Users' Executive Committee is an ex-officio member of the SAC. The full SAC typically meets twice a year. The NSLS-II Director, in consultation with the chair of the SAC, may call additional SAC meetings as necessary. The output of the SAC meetings consists of a confidential report of their findings and recommendations conveyed in a written report submitted to the Director shortly after each SAC meeting.</p> <p><a class="accent" href="committees-retired.php">See retired committees</a></p> </div> <div class="grid_7 suffix_1"> <div class="sidebar"> <h2>Membership</h2> <ul> <li>Ingrid Pickering, Chair, University of Saskatchewan </li> <li>Alun Ashton, PSI </li> <li>Anders Madsen, XFEL </li> <li>Carolyn Larabell, UCSF </li> <li>Conal Murray, IBM </li> <li>Dave Robin, LBNL </li> <li>Esther Takeuchi, Stony Brook University </li> <li>Janet Smith, University of Michigan </li> <li>Soichi Wakatsuki, SLAC </li> <li>Matthew Whitaker, NSLS-II UEC, ex officio</li> </ul> </div> </div>  </div> </div> <div id="topOfPage"><span class="fa fa-chevron-circle-up fa-lg topOfPageTrigger"></span></div> <div class="footer" id="footer" > <div class="container_24"> <div class="grid_6"> <h3 id="BNL">Brookhaven National Laboratory</h3> <p>PO Box 5000<br/> Upton, NY 11973-5000<br/> (631) 344-8000</p> <p><a id="contactUs" class="extrasmall white button" href="https://www.bnl.gov/contact-us/">Contact us</a></p> <ul class="socialMediaIcons"> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/BrookhavenLab" title="Follow Us on 𝕏"><i class="fa-brands fa-square-x-twitter fa-2x"></i></a> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/brookhavenlab" title="Follow Us on Facebook"><span class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-2x"></span></a> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/brookhavenlab/" title="Follow Us on Instagram"><span class="fa fa-instagram fa-2x"></span></a> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/nslsii/" title="Follow Us on LinkedIn"><span class="fa fa-linkedin-square fa-2x"></span></a> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/BrookhavenLab" title="Follow Us on YouTube"><span class="fa fa-youtube-square fa-2x"></span></a> <li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/brookhavenlab/" title="Follow Us on Flickr"><span class="fa fa-flickr fa-2x"></span></a> </ul> </div> <div class="grid_3"> <ul class="linkList2"> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/science/">Our Science</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/about/">About</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/about/history/">History</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/about/org/">Leadership</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/visiting/">Visiting the Lab</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/siteindex/">Site Index</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/directory/">Staff Directory</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="grid_3"> <ul class="linkList2"> <li><a target="_blank" href="https://jobs.bnl.gov/">Careers</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/science/facilities.php">Facilities</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/guv/">Guest Center</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/partner/">Partnerships</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/ppm/">For Vendors</a></li> <li><a id="deptLink" href="javascript:void(0);">Departments</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/visiting/events/">Public Events</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="grid_4"> <ul class="linkList2 lastList"> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/techtransfer/">Technology Licensing</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/externalaffairs/">Stakeholder Relations</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/education/">Students & Educators</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/about/sustainability/">Sustainability</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bnl.gov/privacy/">Privacy and Security Notice</a></li> <li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.energy.gov/vulnerability-disclosure-policy">Vulnerability Disclosure Program</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="grid_7 prefix_1"> <h3 id="BSA">Brookhaven Science Associates</h3> <p>Brookhaven Science Associates manages and operates Brookhaven National Laboratory on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science.
