Andreas Döpp
Andreas studied physics at RWTH Aachen University, the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), University of Paris 11 and Imperial College London.
He started to work on laser-plasma interactions during his Bachelor’s project on finite difference schemes for laser-pulse propagation in plasmas at RWTH Aachen. Thereafter he went to Lausanne where he specialized in high-energy particle physics, while continuing to work on numerical schemes for plasma simulations at the Plasma Physics Research Center (CRPP). For his Master’s project he first joined the Plasma Physics Laboratory (LPGP) at Paris 11 and later the Plasma Physics Group at Imperial College London. His training included participation in experiments at the Lund Laser Centre in Sweden and the Central Laser Facility at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. In early 2012 he graduated at RWTH Aachen with a MSc degree on betatron radiation in laser-driven electron accelerators.
As a member of the FLEX group at Laboratoire d’Optique Appliquée and the scientific division of Centro de Laseres Pulsados, Andreas has performed experiments on laser-driven electron acceleration and radiation sources at the Salle Jaune Laser Facility and the ASTRA Gemini Laser at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
