Berkeley Lab’s Associate Laboratory Director for Physical Sciences champions the highly-accomplished research divisions in accelerator technology, engineering, nuclear science, particle physics and cosmology. Appointed ALD in July 2020, Natalie Roe received her PhD in Physics in 1989 from Stanford University. She joined the Lab as a postdoctoral fellow and held positions as Staff Scientist, Senior Scientist and Physics Division Director prior to taking on the ALD role. Roe has developed advanced instrumentation for her research in particle physics, and more recently for cosmology experiments designed to study dark energy and the early universe. As Director of the Physics Division, Roe oversaw an expansion of research into dark matter, dark energy and quantum information science. Roe is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Physical Society, and has served as president of the APS Division of Particles and Fields, as well as numerous national and international advisory committees.
