Unifying Physics of Accelerators, Lasers and Plasma (PDF)

Andrei Seryi - Jefferson Lab Associate Director for accelerators operations and R&D, Governor's distinguished CEBAF Professor. Until 2018 served as the Director of the John Adams Institute for accelerator science in the UK and a professor at Oxford University. Prior to that worked at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Contributed to development of linear colliders and plasma acceleration. Fellow of the American Physical Society. His professional interests include development of accelerator technology applications to discovery science, industry, healthcare and energy; organizing of scientific research; project management; inventions and innovations; developing novel training approaches and methods.

Elena Seraia - presently a consultant, and until 2018 was working in the Medical Department of the University of Oxford, in the group of Radiation Oncology and Biology, contributing to research aimed at finding ways of comprehensive cancer treatment, and prior to that worked at the Medical Department at Stanford University, in the group which was the first one to develop the principle of contact printing of oligonucleotide DNA microarrays. Elena is the key contributor to the 1st edition of the Unifying Physics book, via creating of more than 260 illustrations, and via contributing to the chapter on the DNA effects of radiation and cancer therapy. Her ingenious illustrations of the inventive principles made, in a great extent, this second edition possible.
