Frank Zimmermann is a senior scientist with the CERN Beams Department and the deputy leader of the Future Circular Collider study. Starting with HERA and early LHC design, Frank worked on a large number of colliders, including SLC, NLC design, PEP-II, KEKB, Tevatron, and LHC commissioning. He co-proposed and co-designed various future colliders, including the LHC luminosity upgrade, the LHeC, SAPPHiRE, HE-LHC, LEP3, FCC-ee, and FCC-hh. While doing so, he made pioneering contributions on ion-driven beam instabilities and electron-cloud effects. Prior to CERN, Frank worked at SLAC (1993-98) and at DESY (1990-93). In 1997, he was awarded a SLAC “Panofsky fellowship.” In 2002, he received the biannual EPS-IGA prize for outstanding work in accelerator physics, in 2019, the USPAS Prize for achievement in accelerator physics and technology, and in 2023 the Fermi Prize of the Italian Physical Society. Since 2004, he is a Fellow of the APS and since 2015, a senior member of the IEEE. Frank is author or co-author of more than 800 articles in journals or conference proceedings. Together with Dr. Michiko Minty, he wrote a textbook on beam control and manipulation, published by Springer in 2003. He has also been one of four editors for the second and third editions of the Handbook of Accelerator Physics and Engineering, published by World Scientific in 2013 and 2023, respectively. In 2022, he chaired the APS Division of Physics of Beams (APS-DPB).

Sara Casalbuoni, Associate EditorEuropean X-Ray Free Electron Laser (EuXFEL), Germany Sara Casalbuoni presently is the Head of the Undulator Systems Group at the European X-Ray Free Electron Laser (EuXFEL) in Germany. Previously, leading the Insertion Devices Group at the KIT synchrotron, she steered the R&D program on superconducting undulators (SCUs), which are now commercially available from an industrial partner, Bilfinger Noell GmbH. At KIT, Sara also contributed to the design of the Future Circular Collider. Prior to KIT, she worked on electron bunch diagnostics at DESY, and on superconducting radio-frequency cavities at the University of Hamburg. Sara studied physics at the University of Firenze in Italy and received her Ph.D. from the University of Bern in Switzerland.Sara is, and has been, a member of several accelerator review and advisory committees, and has served on organizing committees for various workshops and IPAC conferences. She is a board member of the photon sources group of the League of European Accelerator-based Photon Sources (LEAPS). At present, she is elected Member-at-Large of the APS Division of Physics of Beams (01/23–12/25). From 2017 to 2021, she served on the Editorial Board of Physical Review Accelerators and Beams. Sara is one of the 2023 Outstanding Referees of the Physical Review journals. |

Alexander Scheinker, Associate Editor,Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA Alexander Scheinker is the Adaptive Machine Learning Team Leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He received M.S. degrees in math and physics and a Ph.D. in adaptive feedback control theory from UCSD in 2012. He is a research affiliate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, an IEEE Control Systems Society Conference Editorial Board Associate Editor, and a Senior Member of IEEE. He has been developing novel adaptive feedback controllers and robust adaptive generative AI tools for time-varying systems that incorporate online physics models, feedback control, and physics constraints within generative AI architectures to enable them to extrapolate beyond training data for complex dynamic systems such as charged particle beams and 3D dynamic imaging. His adaptive and AI-based algorithms for autonomous accelerator tuning have been used at the European XFEL at DESY, the LCLS, SPEAR-3, and FACET-I/II at SLAC, HiRES and NDCX-II at LBNL, LANSCE and DARHT at LANL, and AWAKE at CERN. |
