Mitchell Schneider received the B.S. degree in physics from Wright State University, Dayton, OH, USA, and the dual Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and physics from Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA, in 2022. He is currently a Post-Doctoral Fellow at SLAC National Accelerator Facility, Menlo Park, CA, USA, where he currently leads the efforts to develop ultrahigh gradient for superconducting radio frequency (SRF) linear accelerating structures as well as developing a high gradient cathode test stand. Building upon his previous work for his Ph.D. thesis understanding the dynamics of radio frequency (RF) field emission cathodes operating in high-frequency high gradient injectors in dynamics beyond classical Fowler–Nordheim and beyond Child Langmuir regimes using synthetic diamond cathodes. His research interests are RF accelerators, SRF high-temperature superconductors, high-frequency injectors, and the underlying physics of the emission physics for a strong thermo-photo-field cathode.
