J. Donald Cossairt is a Distinguished Scientist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois. He received a BA in physics and mathematics from Indiana Central College (now the University of Indianapolis) (1970) and MS and PhD degrees in experimental nuclear physics from Indiana University Bloomington (1972, 1975). His career began with a postdoctoral appointment in nuclear physics research at the Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute, then transitioned to radiation physics with his move to Fermilab in 1978. He is a member of the American Physical Society, a Fellow Member of the Health Physics Society, a Distinguished Emeritus Member of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements and is a Certified Health Physicist. Dr. Cossairt has numerous publications in health physics, nuclear physics, and particle physics. He received a G. William Morgan Lectureship Award from HPS in 2011. He has been an instructor of the Radiation Physics, Regulation and Management course at 14 sessions the U.S. Particle Accelerator School and was co-academic dean of the Professional Development School of the Health Physics Society held in Oakland, California in 2008.
Matthew Quinn is the Senior Radiation Safety Officer and Laser Safety Officer at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois. He has worked on shielding assessments, operational radiation safety, radioanalytical measurements and laser safety. Dr. Quinn is a three-time instructor of the Radiation Physics, Regulation and Management course at the U.S. Particle Accelerator School, serves as the Vice Chair of the Department of Energy EFCOG Laser Safety Task Group, and is the president-elect of the Accelerator Section of the Health Physics Society. He received a BS in physics from Loyola University Chicago (2000), MS and PhD degrees in nuclear physics from the University of Notre Dame (2005, 2009), and was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Loyola University Medical Center before joining Fermilab in 2010.
