Biography
Gary Navrotski has been involved in numerous aspects of synchrotron radiation research, X-ray facility instrumentation and beamline operations since 1986. His personal areas of research interest include semiconductor surface adlayer 2D phase transformations as well as thin film and materials sciences. He is currently engaged in facility and instrumentation design for the upgrade of the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a third generation, hard X-ray synchrotron source, completed by 2018.
