圣地亚哥·博纳尔(Santiago Bernal)，1981年在哥伦比亚波哥大的国立哥伦比亚大学获得物理学学士学位，1983年获得乔治亚理工学院的物理学硕士学位，1999年获得马里兰大学学院的物理学博士学位。他是在已故的马丁·赖泽(Martin Rei-ser)教授的指导下攻读博士学位。在马里兰大学攻读研究生之前，博纳尔曾在哥伦比亚和波多黎各教授大学物理和数学课程。博纳尔于2000年加入UMER小组进行博士后的研究，后来成为电子与应用物理研究所(IREAP)的研究科学家。他参与了UMER的设计和建设，并且一直是该项目的首席实验物理学家。博纳尔帮助UMER为2008年美国粒子加速器学校组织和开展了实验课程。除了束和加速器物理，博纳尔还对统计力学和物理教育的各个方面感兴趣。
