Marcel Demarteau
Senior Physicist, Ph.D.
Marcel Demarteau is a Senior Scientist in the Physical Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory where he serves as Division Director of the Physics Division. A particle physicist by training and a Fellow of the American Physical Society, he brings a keen sense of fundamental physics research to the Physics Division and is building a premier research program in the areas of quantum sensing, particle physics, fundamental symmetries, neutrino physics, nuclear structure and astrophysics. The Division deploys the world’s most advanced neutron and gamma-ray imaging technologies for security safeguards and bridges fundamental to applied research. The world-class user facilities at ORNL, such as the Leadership Computing Facility, the Center for Nanophase Materials Science and the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility are heavily leveraged for its research. He serves on multiple advisory committees through which the community takes stock of past progress and charts future research directions.

Talks
It is always a privilege to give a presentation on a science topic to an engaging audience. A collection of talks is presented here on a broad range of topics at different venues that maybe helpful and hopefully inspiring.
- Total Absorption Calorimetry; A Path To Superior Jet Energy Resolution, presentation at the Workshop of the Coordinating Panel for Advanced Detectors, Stony Brook, March 18 — 22, 2021
- The LEGEND experiment; presentation to the Undersecretary for Science at the Department of Energy, October 14, 2020
- Welcome address to the COHERENT collaboration; COHERENT collaboration meeting, June 7, 2020
- The Cross-cut Group; presentation at the workshop of the Coordinating Panel for Advanced Detectors, December 9, 2019
Community
To be able to help the community at large is not only a privilege but also an obligation that we all share. Some of the efforts where Marcel Demarteau tries to advice the community on its strategic planning and technical challenges are:
- Chair of the Phase Two Upgrade Group (P2UG) of the CMS experiment at CERN
- Member of the Physics Advisory Committee of the Belle experiment at KEK
- Member of International Advisory Committee for the CepC project
