CERN Accelerating science

Following studies at the University of Twente, Matthias did his PhD research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, in collaboration with University of Twente and UC Berkeley, California. Subsequently, he developed conceptual designs of superconducting detector magnets for FCC as a fellow of CERN in 2014 in the Experimental Physics department. In 2017, he transferred to the TE-MPE where he assumed responsibility for protection studies within the HL-LHC upgrade, involving circuits, superconducting magnets, and superconducting busbars. In 2019, Matthias transferred back to the EP-ADO-SO, to assume the responsibility over the ATLAS Magnet Project after retirement of Professor Herman ten Kate.
