Deputy Director for Operations, Brookhaven National Laboratory
Ann Emrick is the Deputy Director for Operations at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Emrick, a longtime Brookhaven Lab employee, oversees organizations that provide the bulk of support services for the Lab, including the operation and maintenance of more than 300 buildings, several of which are unique, world-class scientific facilities. She also works closely with the Lab’s senior leadership team on day-to-day operations and strategic planning for the Lab’s future.
During Emrick’s 36 years at Brookhaven Lab, she has served in progressively more impactful leadership roles across Brookhaven, the Battelle-affiliated labs, and the DOE complex. Most recently, Emrick was the directorate chief operating officer (DCOO) for the Lab’s Environment, Biology, Nuclear Science & Nonproliferation Directorate, the Computational Science Initiative, and the Advanced Technology Research Office. In this role, she coordinated operations for a diverse research portfolio of more than 250 staff and $100 million annual budget.
Prior to her DCOO role, Emrick was the research operations manager for the Environment, Biological & Computational Sciences Directorate from 2000 to 2015 and a staff specialist in the Biology Department from 1992 to 2000. Ann joined the Lab in 1987 as a scientific associate in the Biology Department, where she worked on DOE’s Low Dose Radiation Research Program.
She earned her B.S. in Biological Sciences from St. Joseph’s University, and her M.S. in Technological Systems Management from Stony Brook University. Emrick lives in East Patchogue, NY.
