Ann is a new addition to the Optica Software team, joining in Sept 2005. She worked for many years as a scientific programmer on various science projects. Her last job was at CERN, processing high energy physics data for the LEP OPAL experiment. After working there for 5 years, she moved to Champaign-Urbana with her husband, Thomas Junk ( physics faculty, Univ. Illinois). She was a stay-at-home mom for 3 years, until Donald Barnhart, her friend and neighbor, encouraged her to rejoin the workforce. |
