Professor Dr. Adrian Oeftiger

Biography

Adrian Oeftiger is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, specializing in the field of accelerator physics and particle beam dynamics. He conducts research in nonlinear dynamics of high-energy, high-intensity proton and ion beams, and is affiliated with the Accelerator and Beams Physics Group at CERN. His work primarily focuses on the beam dynamics associated with the High Luminosity Upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and involves studying high-intensity effects in LHC injector synchrotrons as well as the ISIS-II Upgrade project at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. As an educator, Adrian is dedicated to teaching undergraduate physics students, offering lectures on Data Analysis & Statistics, and running Computing Lab sessions for first- and second-year students. He is also externally involved in teaching the Accelerator Design Workshop at the international Joint Universities Accelerator School located near Geneva, Switzerland. Adrian encourages prospective doctoral students to reach out to discuss potential applications.
