Alireza Nassiri

Alireza Nassiri is a senior physicist and head of the Radio Frequency Group at Argonne National Laboratory. Since 2018, he has served as a Visiting Professor of Accelerator Physics at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) and as an Adjunct Professor of in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University.  He was one of the principal investigators who proposed a novel idea of applying micro-fabrication techniques using X-ray lithography to develop high-precision, high-frequency, and high-gradient radiofrequency structures for accelerator applications. He has led a collaborative team of scientists and engineers from universities and national laboratories to investigate and develop magnesium diboride film as a high T_C  superconductor for accelerator applications.  As a PI, he proposed the development of electromagnetic mm-Wave Undulator for production of extremely short x-ray pulse and has made significant contributions to the development of novel electron sources for accelerator applications and free electron lasers. In recent years, he has worked with a team of scientists at Argonne to develop novel mm-Wave structures for accelerator applications. He is a regulator lecturer at the US Particle Accelerator School (USPAS). He has authored over 150 journal articles, conference papers and technical reports in accelerator physics, radio frequency and microwave science and technology. He continues to serve as academic advisor to several PhD students in physics and engineering. He currently serves as a coordinator for the Cool Copper Collider (C³) for Higgs factory designs.
