Larry Bartoszek, is a licensed engineer with Physics and Mechanical Engineering degrees from the Univ of Illinois. He is a member of numerous professional societies related to engineering, welding, and the International Space Elevator Consortium.

Larry worked at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory from 1983 to 1993. In his work at Fermilab he was responsible for the design of many accelerator and detector projects, including a 150 million dollar Hadron calorimeter and many other accelerator and detector projects.

Larry is the owner of Bartoszek Engineering, a world-wide consulting firm which specializes in mechanical designs for the nuclear and high energy physics research community world-wide.

The neutrino horn his company designed for Fermilab holds the world record for surviving over 400 million pulses at 170 Kiloamps of current. He also helped build the 2.5 meter Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope.

In 2004, Larry started working on the Space Elevator as a and has given presentations at several Conferences. He became a Director on the Board of the International Space Elevator Consortium (ISEC) in April, 2021.

We look forward to learning more about this fascinating research and hope you will stay tuned after the interview for our takeaways.
