About the Author
Thomas P. Wangler received his B.S. degree in physics from Michigan State University, and his Ph.D. degree in physics and astronomy from the University of Wisconsin. After postdoctoral appointments at the University of Wisconsin and Brookhaven National Laboratory, he joined the staff of Argonne National Laboratory in 1966, working in the fields of experimental high-energy physics and accelerator physics. He joined the Accelerator Technology Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1979, where he specialized in high-current beam physics and linear accelerator design and technology. In 2007 he joined the faculty at Michigan State University, where he holds a joint appointment as Professor of Physics at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory and in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Dr. Wangler is a Los Alamos National Laboratory Fellow and a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
