Nilsson Lennart E

Emelie Nilsson is currently working as a research engineer in superconducting DC and AC distribution for the CRYOPROP project at Airbus UpNext as a scientific advisor in superconductivity. She has 10+ years experience in research projects based on superconducting technologies. She obtained her Ph.D. degree in Plasma Physics from Ecole Polytechnique Paris in 2015. Her thesis, carried out at CEA-Cadarache, focused on research on runaway electron dynamics in tokamak plasma. She was also awarded a licentiate degree from Chalmers University of Technology in 2014, on the topic of current drive using lower hybrid waves in tokamak plasma. After she joined CERN's Technology department for a postdoctoral COFUND fellowship working on design and development of Nb3Sn superconducting accelerator magnets for the High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC. She worked as an accelerator scientist at the European Spallation Source, currently under construction. At Airbus UpNext she led the development of superconducting distribution and protection for the ASCEND project.
