In 2026, the Summer Physics Camp would not have been possible without the energy, ideas and support of about more than 90 volunteers from National Laboratories, industry and universities in the US and Europe. Our volunteers reflected the broad spectrum of STEM opportunities: Summer interns, technicians, technologists, RCT, R&D scientist and engineers, PhD students, university professors, attorneys working at National Laboratory, veterans, finance and project management staff, medical doctors at national labs, and national laboratory leadership like associate directors, principal associate directors and even Director's office.

Caitlin is a post doc at Los Alamos National Laboratory. After leaving her home state of Florida with bachelors degrees in Civil Engineering and Physics, she completed a PhD in Physics in Illinois. Her passion for understanding how things work has led her to the field of condensed matter physics where she continues to investigate how scattering light and particles off of materials can reveal their structure and properties.
Heshani Jayatissa is an experimental nuclear astrophysicist. She obtained her Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in Nuclear Physics from Texas A&M University, and her B.Sc. degree from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Her research mainly focuses on nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure measurements using direct and indirect experimental techniques. After receiving her Ph.D., she joined the Low Energy Nuclear Physics group in the Physics Division of Argonne National Laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher focusing on the experimentally constraining uncertainties of nuclear reactions relevant for understanding the nucleosynthesis in explosive stellar environments such as x-ray bursts and core-collapse supernova using the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS). She is currently an Agnew National Security fellow in the Physics division of Los Alamos National Laboratory studying neutron-induced reactions on radioactive isotopes using the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANCSE) facility, relevant for nuclear astrophysics. She carries out nuclear physics experiments at other experimental facilities in the US such as the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB).
