Beams: The Story of Particle Accelerators and the Science They Discover

Volker Ziemann obtained his PhD in accelerator physics from Dortmund University in 1990. After post-doctoral positions in Stanford at SLAC and in Geneva at CERN, where he worked on the design of the LHC, in 1995 he moved to Uppsala where he worked at the electron-cooler storage ring CELSIUS. In 2005 he moved to the physics department where he has since taught physics. He was responsible for several accelerator physics projects at CERN, DESY and XFEL. In 2014 he received the Thuréus prize from the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala. He was a member of Uppsala University's senate, served on evaluation committees for the German ministry of research, is a member of the Scientific Council of the Helmholtz Institute in Mainz, and teaches at CERN accelerator schools. He authored three books and over 200 articles and reports.

Volker Ziemann於1990年從多特蒙德大學獲得了加速器物理學的博士學位。在斯坦福大學的SLAC和日內瓦的CERN進行博士後研究後，他在1995年搬到烏普薩拉，在那裡他在電子冷卻儲存環CELSIUS工作。2005年，他轉到物理系，開始教授物理學。他曾在CERN、DESY和XFEL負責多個加速器物理項目。2014年，他獲得了烏普薩拉皇家科學學會的Thuréus獎。他曾是烏普薩拉大學參議院的成員，並在德國研究部門的評估委員會中任職，是美因茨的Helmholtz研究所科學委員會的成員，並在CERN加速器學校教授。他撰寫了三本書和200多篇文章和報告。
