Thomas Schenkel
Lecturer
Thomas Schenkel is a physicist and senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he is the Program Head for Fusion Science and Ion Beam Technology in the Accelerator Technology and Applied Physics Division (http://atap.lbl.gov/). Thomas received his PhD in physics from the Goethe University in Frankfurt. Following time as a postdoc at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, he joined Berkeley Lab in 2000. His research interests include novel accelerator concepts, materials far from equilibrium, exploration of fusion processes, and spin qubit architectures.
