Scientist at DESY
Greater Hamburg Area Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlberto De La Ossa is a theoretical and computational physicist with over a decade of experience leading modeling and particle-in-cell simulation efforts for plasma wakefield accelerators at DESY and partner institutions. He earned a PhD in particle physics from the University of Granada and began his career developing novel event-reconstruction algorithms and early neural-network techniques for liquid-argon neutrino detectors. Since 2011 he has driven original simulation-based advances in PWFA, coordinating theory groups and major WP efforts within ATHENA-e, EuPRAXIA and FLASHForward while also acting as principal investigator on hybrid acceleration experiments. His work blends deep theoretical insight, high-performance computing leadership (including JUQUEEN resource use), and practical experimental coordination to translate concepts into testable accelerator schemes. Based in Greater Hamburg, he is noted for applying cross-disciplinary methods—from Monte Carlo and PIC codes to machine-learning ideas—to push beam-quality and injection strategies forward.
