to work in the newly constructed Advanced Photon Source
Facility, so the odds were not in his favor. What was
in his favor, however, was his double major at GC in
Chemistry and Physics, and his hands-on experience of
helping to complete GC’s very own ion accelerator in
the Physics lab, a project that many students worked
on over a period of more than 21 years. Even though
GC’s version is small in size and energy compared to
the major accelerators of the world, it nevertheless
contains many of the basic elements needed to produce,
focus, and detect charged particles. David’s first-hand
experience gave him the edge he needed to stand out
from the other 50 candidates and land the position.
The job and the location also allowed him to begin graduate
study at the University of Chicago. 5800 E. Lake Dr.,
Lisle, IL 60532.
