John Weisend, head of
the Experimental Facilities Department (EFD), was recently elected to
the Board of Technical Directors of the Cryogenic Society of America
(CSA). As a Technical Director, Weisend will focus on organizing and
chairing courses for CSA, including the 2005 Short Course Symposium and
others planned to expand the society’s outreach and contribution to the
discipline of cryogenic engineering.
Weisend has been active
in the cryogenic field for a number of years. Prior to coming to SLAC
five years ago, he was with DESY, the Centre d’Etudes Nucleaires in
Grenoble, France, and the SSC Cryogenics Department. He edited the
Handbook of Cryogenic Engineering, was co-author of Cryogenic Two-Phase
Flow: Applications to Large Scale Systems, and has authored a number of
technical papers.
CSA is a non-profit
technical society serving all those interested in any phase of
cryogenics. It was formed in 1964 and derived most of its initial
members from the aerospace industry. Now members from 12 countries hold
a wide range of academic degrees and occupations, including engineers,
physicists, sales representatives and technicians. |
