Research fellow turns to accelerator power for wastewater cleanup
As the inaugural Hermann Grunder Fellow, John Vennekate is developing a compact superconducting radiofrequency accelerator that could remove contaminants from wastewater
DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Hermann Grunder is the founding director of the U.S. Department of Energy s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. In addition to helping shape the lab into its current form, Grunder transformed the vision of the lab s premier particle accelerator in the late 1980s, changing it to one that featured a new superconducting technology and recirculating design. The result was the design-specification-surpassing Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) that we know today.
