Mer om författaren

Thomas Otto studied physics at TU Braunschweig and U Mainz and specialised in nuclear and atomic physics. He received his Ph.D. in 1993 for work on ion traps. After a Marie-Curie Fellowship at the UC Louvain-La-Neuve, he joined in 1996 the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN. He was in charge of the Personal Dosimetry Service and of practical radiation protection at different particle accelerators. Since 2010, he is responsible for occupational safety in the Technology Department, which provides the key technologies for CERN’s particle accelerators. He is also the Project Safety Officer for the High-Luminosity upgrade to the LHC, CERN’s future flagship accelerator. In 2019, Thomas Otto has been elected to the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements, ICRU.
