Arden Warner (born 1965 or 1964
Early life and education
Arden Ayube Warner[2] was born in Barbados, in Eagle Hall, a part of the capital, Bridgetown, in St Michael parish. He had a number of brothers and sisters.[3] He attended school at Wesley Hall Boys’ School, King Street, and Combermere School, Waterford, Bridgetown.[1] He was brought up by his mother, a shopkeeper, and after he completed school, they moved to the USA, where he secured a scholarship to City College of New York, within City University of New York, and later graduated with a degree in engineering and physics from Columbia University.[1]
Having worked with some of the US's national laboratories, Warner interned at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), and won a fellowship to support his PhD studies.[1]
Career
Particle physics
Warner secured employment in the Accelerator Division of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (often known as Fermilab), Batavia, just outside Chicago, Illinois,[4][1] where he had been working 26 years by early 2021.[5] He currently works on the Proton Improvement Plan II, one of Fermilab's major projects.[6]
Warner also works as a mentor for internees,[7] and has been a member of the steering body at times since the early 1980s of Fermilab's inclusive Summer Internships in Science and Technology (SIST) program, the longest-running of the Department of Energy National Laboratory system's internship programs.[8] As of 2021, he chairs this program.[5]
Oil spill cleanup technology
The US
As of 2019, the technology, which was elaborated as "electromagnetic boom and MOP",[13] was being scaled up for commercial use by a company licensed by Fermilab and led by Warner.[14]
Warner's idea was an inspiration for Irish student scientist Fionn Ferreira in his invention of a method for cleaning microplastics from the oceans.[15]
Selected publications
- Lead author for The design and implementation of the machine protection system for the Fermilab electron cooling facility, Warner et al., Fermilab, May 2009[16]
- Lead author for Machine Protection System Research and Development for the Fermilab PIP-II Proton Linac, Warner et al., Fermilab, October 2017[17]
Recognition
Warner was one of 50 recipients of the Barbados Jubilee Honour in 2016.[1]
Personal life
Warner is married.[5] He is a member of the board of a Barbadian youth development NGO, The Millennium Fund.[18]
