Hello everyone, my name is Michael Balcewicz and I’m a Postdoctoral researcher at the Fermilab Booster. My research interests are focused on beam dynamics, beam instabilities, improving operations over the Booster ramp. While I’ve been at Fermilab for over a year now, I have previously served as an officer in Associated Students And Postdocs (ASAP) at BNL when I was a graduate student at Michigan State University. Research is a bit of a marathon, but I know that with good support we can all come together and grow both professionally and personally. As an FSPA officer, I want to make Fermilab a welcoming environment for everyone here.
