Dr. James Symons is a Senior Physicist, and Director of the Nuclear
Science Division, at the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory (LBNL). He received his B.A. degree in Physics in 1972
and DPhil. from Oxford University in 1976. Dr. Symons joined LBNL
as a postdoctoral fellow in 1977.
Dr. Symons’ research interests are in experimental nuclear
physics, including nuclear structure and relativistic heavy ion
collisions. He is a member of the STAR experiment at the Brookhaven
National Laboratory, Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. STAR is
a large experiment with the goal of understanding the properties
of matter in the first few seconds after the Big Bang.
Dr. Symons is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He has
served on numerous national and international panels, including
the DOE/NSF Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) which he
chaired from 2000-2002. During his term as NSAC chair, Dr. Symons
led the development of a new national long range plan for nuclear
science.
