Brahim Mustapha

Brahim Mustapha has wide experience in the design, simulation, construction and commissioning of heavy-ion linac components and beamlines, including end-to-end design and simulation of proton and heavy-ion linacs for different applications. He received his PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of Paris at Orsay, France in 1999. He joined Argonne’s Physics Division in the year 2000 as a postdoctoral appointee and became a staff accelerator physicist in 2003.

During these 20+ years, he participated in several accelerator projects at Argonne and elsewhere, most notably Project-X/PIP-II at Fermilab, FRIB at Michigan State University, and most recently the Electron Ion Collider. At Argonne, he contributed to several upgrades of the ATLAS heavy-ion linac facility, leading to the ongoing ATLAS Multi-User Upgrade project for which he is serving as the technical director. He is also leading the development of AI-ML tools to support ATLAS accelerator operations.
