Donation protected
Steve Edstrom was a strong supporter of summer internships and educational opportunities at SLAC, mentoring students, and providing a work environment that was safe and accessible to new laser operators. Steve’s family has requested that a fund be established to support a position in the LCLS Summer Internship Program for exceptional undergraduate students to make contributions to the SLAC laser program in the tradition that Steve pioneered. The Steve Edstrom Memorial Internship Fund will help inspire students and honor the legacy of Steve’s many contributions to laser education, laser technology, and the scientific achievements they have enabled at SLAC.

Congratulations to the most recent winner of the Edstrom award for the outstanding intern project in laser science and engineering. This year’s winner is Marissa Kuo from Santa Clara University, who worked with mentors LeRoy Eshelman and Donny Magana. Marissa’s project was to develop improved communications between the electronics used in our laser safety systems.
