Hasan Padamsee has published two books on radiofrequency (RF) superconductivity and one popular physics book, Unifying the Universe. After obtaining his PhD from Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, he spent most of his career leading the RF Superconductivity Program at Cornell, before becoming Head of the Technical Division and Chief Technology Officer at Fermilab. At Cornell he launched the TeV Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator (TESLA) which subsequently morphed into the International Linear Collider (ILC). He was awarded the 2015 APS Wilson Prize for his achievements in particle accelerators. See less
