Connie Logg, MS, retired research and development (R&D) computer scientist at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Scientists for dedication, achievements, and leadership in technology.
Ms. Logg, now retired, was a research and development computer scientist at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) for over 35 years. Acquired in 1971, she continuously progressed and was active on numerous computer-related projects during her distinguished tenure, including data acquisition, machine control, beam steering, microprocessor development for prototypes, database development for maintenance reporting and analysis of Linac equipment.
During her remarkable career in the industry, Ms. Logg had the opportunity to develop data acquisition systems, beam control, monitoring systems for physics experiments, and interactive data analysis systems. In her later years, she focused on networking, creating monitoring tools and performing network performance analysis. Ms. Logg also developed a maintenance database for the Stanford Linear Accelerator, which involved analyzing the electronics used for recurring problems, maintenance issues, failure analysis, tracking deployment and other tasks.
However, Ms. Logg’s role in network monitoring in 1991 was among her most notable career accomplishments. As a network analyst, she developed large-scale LAN and WAN network monitoring systems and was instrumental in creating the first network monitoring and reporting application based on the World Wide Web. Ms. Logg retired from SLAC in 2007.
Located in Menlo Park, California, SLAC is a federally funded research and development center initially known as the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Founded in 1962, the laboratory is sponsored by the United States Department of Energy and administered by Stanford University. The SLAC’s National Accelerator Laboratory is best known for leading large-scale science projects and conducting groundbreaking experiments. The SLAC is one of 17 U.S. Department of Engineering national laboratories.
Highly educated, Ms. Logg attended the University of California Berkeley, where she acquired a Bachelor of Arts in computer science in 1969. One year later, she completed a Master of Science in electrical engineering at the university’s school of engineering on campus in 1970. Ms. Logg’s education has been foundational to her career success and longevity. Throughout her educational journey, Ms. Logg also notably served on numerous judicial, rally, honor society, and student conduct committees, reflecting her desire to give back to the university.
Beyond her extensive educational background, Ms. Logg was active as a prominent member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. Her membership was instrumental in remaining at the forefront of her industry.
As a dedicated member of her community, Ms. Logg has long been active with the Prytanean Women’s Honor Society, which is recognized as the oldest collegiate women’s honor society in the U.S. Founded as a branch of the University of California Berkeley chapter, the organization acknowledges the scholastic achievement of undergraduate women.
Ms. Logg’s decades of career accomplishments have been recognized several times. She received an SLAC Top Performer Award twice, in 1996 and 2002. She also received a Top 100 Honor in the Top 100 Registry for Business Leaders and Professionals in 2019. Reflecting on her success, Ms. Logg credits much of it to her father for supporting her education.
