Welcome

Cornell accelerator physicists pursue a broad range of topics in accelerator science and technology. From the operation of on-campus Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), to the design of an Energy-Recovery Linac (ERL) driven light sources, and the construction of the Electtron Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), students at Cornell have a unique opportunity to "operate" existing accelerators and design new ones.

For students

Students interested in doing research with me should check out Undergraduate Reasearch, REU Program, and PhD Program in Accelerator Physics at Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE).

Current Research

My field of research is accelerator and beam physics, study of accelerated beams as a special state of matter. I am currently working on accelerator science for Energy Recovery Linear Accelerators (ERLs) and for the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory(BNL). My research team also constructed CBETA, the first multi-turn SRF ERL in collaboration with BNL. Previously, I headed Cornell's SRF group, which has been a world-wide leader in the field of RF superconductivity and its application to high energy accelerators and synchrotron light sources.
