Biography

Matthias Liepe is a professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University, where he leads the Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) group. His research primarily focuses on accelerator physics, with a specific interest in superconducting materials, particularly the physics of superconducting RF cavities. These cavities are essential for accelerating charged particle beams in particle accelerators, and Liepe's work explores the limits of these materials and their applications in various fields, including high-energy physics, medical technology, and environmental conservation. He has a robust track record of developing new superconducting compounds, especially Nb3Sn, aiming to improve the performance of RF cavities beyond traditional niobium limitations. His research contributes significantly to advancing the efficiency and capability of future particle accelerators. Liepe has published numerous papers on topics including superconductivity, RF surface resistance, and the maximum fields achievable in superconducting cavities, making him a leading figure in the field of particle accelerator technology.
