Chris Hall

Chris Hall is a Senior Scientist at RadiaSoft. Prior to joining RadiaSoft, Chris worked as a Research Assistant at Colorado State University from May 2012 to February 2016. Chris' research focused on collective beam effects in energy recovery linacs. In particular, Chris conducted research into the simulation of coherent synchrotron radiation and its impact on electron beam properties. Chris also developed mitigation techniques to reduce the negative impact of coherent synchrotron radiation on electron beams. In addition to their research, Chris also wrote software in Python to provide pre- and post-processing capabilities for various accelerator and FEL codes. Chris also developed software in Fortran to translate beam distributions between the particle tracking code ELEGANT and FEL code MINERVA.

Before joining Colorado State University, Chris worked as a Teaching Assistant at Michigan State University from August 2009 to May 2011 and at Hope College from May 2008 to May 2009.

Chris Hall's educational career includes a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Colorado State University, a Master of Science in Physics from Michigan State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Mathematics from Hope College.

Chris Hall reports to Nathan Cook, Lead Project Scientist Group Leader. They work with Morgan Henderson - Associate Scientist, Boaz Nash - Research Scientist, and Dan T. Abell - Senior Research Scientist.
