Dr. Pierre Vedrine is presently the head of the Accelerators, Cryogenics and Magnetism Department (DACM) at CEA/Irfu. He received his degree from the University of Paris 6 in 1990 with a thesis on technology of superconducting coils for an AC synchronous generator. He has been with CEA since October 1990. He has worked as scientist and project manager on different superconducting magnet projects for LHC (quadrupole magnets, ATLAS toroid barrel magnet). He was from September 2005 to April 2014 the project manager of the 11.7T-MRI magnet system for the “Iseult/Inumac project”. He has served on a large number of review and conference committees related to superconducting magnets.
