Field Computation for Accelerator Magnets

Stephan Russenschuck received his doctorate in electrical engineering from the Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany, specializing in optimization of electrical machines. He joined the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 1991 to work on the electromagnetic design of superconducting magnets for the LHC particle accelerator. During the years of LHC development and construction he was responsible for a magnet model construction, the electrical quality assurance during hardware installation, and the polarities of the nearly 11,000 magnet elements. Dr. Russenschuck is the author of the ROXIE program package and a leading authority on mathematical optimization, electromagnetic design, and engineering of accelerator magnets. For seventeen years he has served as a member of the Board of the International COMPUMAG Society. Since 2000 Dr. Russenschuck has been lecturering at the Vienna University of Technology, at the Joint Universities Accelerator School (JUAS), and the CERN Accelerator School (CAS).
