Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Laut is a microwave engineer and engineering physicist with nine years of experience at the intersection of RF technology, accelerator physics, and applied research. He has designed and manufactured electron guns, gyrotron cavities, launchers, and metamaterial lenses, and developed physical-optics and LP-decomposition software for mmWave beam analysis used in major fusion and accelerator projects. His work spans national labs and international research institutions including General Atomics, CERN, Berkeley Lab, and Proxima Fusion, blending hands-on fabrication with computational modeling. Alex combines a UC Berkeley BS in Nuclear Engineering with an MS in Accelerator Physics from Université Paris-Saclay, giving him deep theoretical grounding and experimental savvy. He is adept at turning complex beam-physics problems into practical diagnostics and hardware — for example, building single-shot X-ray energy diagnostics and automated beam-pipe aperture reconstruction tools. Based in San Diego, he brings a rare mix of RF system design, code development, and prototyping experience to fusion and high-power microwave systems.
