Regular biography
Matthias Liepe is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University. His research focuses on superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities, particularly the science and technology of bulk and thin-film superconductors in electromagnetic fields at low temperatures and ultra-high frequencies. His work explores the application of these materials in superconducting RF cavities for particle accelerators and quantum computing. Liepe leads Cornell’s SRF group, a world leader in microwave superconductivity and its application to accelerating cavities. His research includes the development of new superconducting materials, the study of superheating fields, and the optimization of surface resistance in superconductors. He is also involved in the design and testing of SRF cryomodules for future high-efficiency particle accelerators.
