David Bruhwiler
David Bruhwiler is president, CEO, and Chairman of the Board at RadiaSoft LLC, a startup that he co-founded in 2013. His scientific work in the areas of parallel computing, charged particle acceleration, nonlinear integrable phase space dynamics, laser-plasma and beam-plasma interactions, electron cooling of ion beams, advanced accelerator concepts and solar physics has produced 49 refereed articles, 14 invited talks at international conferences, one patent and 104 conference proceedings papers. Honored by the American Physical Society as a Fellow in 2010, he regularly reviews funding proposals for the US Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics, Office of Basic Energy Sciences and Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research, and occasionally for the National Science Foundation. He routinely reviews articles for Physical Review (Letters, E, Special Topics AB), Physics of Plasmas and IEEE Transactions.
Dr. Bruhwiler’s scientific successes include: key contributions to early simulations of quasi-monoenergetic beams from laser-plasma accelerators, the concept of a self-ionizing plasma wakefield accelerator, contributions to initial simulations of the patented Trojan horse concept for producing electron beams of unprecedented brightness, and fundamental improvements to the understanding and use of parametric models for dynamical friction – essential to the next generation of electron-ion colliders for nuclear physics. He is now working to bring scientific computing to the cloud via the open source Sirepo framework, https://github.com/radiasoft/sirepo, leveraging software investments of the US Department of Energy to stimulate advanced manufacturing and bolster the US economy, and also to educate the next generation of particle accelerator scientists and engineers. His present research interests include: the ongoing pursuit of higher-brightness electron beams for light source and high energy physics applications; the development of a fundamentally improved mathematical approach to the calculation of dynamical friction for ion beam cooling; the design of X-ray beamlines for state-of-the-art and next-generation light source user facilities; and the theoretical and computational analysis of new ideas for preventing instabilities, beam halo and beam loss in high-average power particle accelerators.
