Sergey V Kutsaev, Ph.D. is an Accelerator Scientist at RadiaBeam Systems. He graduated with highest honors from Moscow Engineering-Physics Institute (MEPhI) and holds a doctoral degree in accelerator physics, earned through extensive work on design, fabrication, and testing of the dual energy electron linac for cargo inspection system in collaboration with ScanTech Sciences, LLC affiliate in Russia. Prior to joining RadiaBeam, Dr. Kutsaev has worked in Linac Development Group at Physics Division of Argonne National Laboratory on a wide spectrum of problems including heavy-ion linacs and superconducting RF cavities. Dr. Kutsaev’s experience in SRF includes the design of TEM and elliptical class cavities and RF power couplers for broad range of applications including ATLAS, PIP-II, FRIB, SRF gun for BNL, ADS and FFAG. At RadiaBeam Systems, Dr. Kutsaev is a project leader or PI of many DOE SIBR grants that include RF, accelerator, magnet, THz optics, quantum computing, electronics and software technologies. Dr. Kutsaev has a significant experience in multiple aspects of accelerator development such as electromagnetic design, RF engineering, multiphysics and beam dynamics simulations. He is highly experienced in 3-D professional multiphysics codes (CST Microwave Studio, ANSYS, HFSS), particle simulation codes (Parmela, CST Particle Studio) and programming (C++). Dr. Kutsaev published more than 30 papers in peer-reviewed journals, and 50 papers at International Conferences and Workshops.
