Mer om författaren

Volker Ziemann obtained his Ph.D. in accelerator physics from Dortmund University in 1990. After postdoctoral positions in Stanford at SLAC and in Geneva at CERN, where he worked on the design of the LHC, in 1995, he moved to Uppsala where he worked at the electron-cooler storage ring CELSIUS. In 2005, he moved to the physics department where he has since taught physics. He was responsible for several accelerator physics projects at CERN, DESY, and XFEL. In 2014, he received the Thuréus prize from the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala.
