We are pleased to announce that Chris Lingwood has just passed his PhD and completed all corrections to examiners satisfaction.
Chris’s thesis was on “High Power, High Efficiency Multiple-Beam Klystron Design” in which he investigated the design of the RF amplifier for the drive beam of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). His supervisors were Prof. Richard Carter and Dr Graeme Burt at Lancaster University and the work was performed in collaboration with Thales and Erk Jenson and Igor Syratchev of CERN. His external examiners (Prof. Manfred Thumm and Dr Adrian Cross) remarked on the high standard of the thesis and how much work had been done.
Chris is now a research associate at Lancaster University and is working on Klystron Design and Multipactor in RF components.
