Andrei Seryi

Andrei Seryi, associate director for accelerator operations, research and development at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, as well as Governor’s Distinguished CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) Professor, and previously professor at Oxford University and Director of the John Adams Institute, graduated from Novosibirsk State University in 1986 and received his Ph.D. from the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in 1994. He worked at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center until 2010, where he led the design and first stages of implementation of the Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests (FACET) project and coordinated the Beam Delivery efforts for the linear collider. He served as a deputy spokesperson of the ATF International Collaboration for ATF2 Project, is a chairperson or a member of a number of advisory committees and a Fellow of American Physical Society. As well as teaching at numerous accelerator schools, he has contributed to the developments of beam--beam compensation, electron cooling, beam-delivery systems, stability of colliders and novel acceleration methods. His professional interests include: the development of accelerator science applications to discovery science, industry, healthcare and energy; organizing of scientific research; project management; crisis management in scientific and technological areas; inventions and innovations; and developing novel training approaches and methods.
