Generating Advances with AI for Neutrons/X-rays Core Group leader and member WG1 (AI for sustainable accelerators) LINXS Fellow

Accelerator Scientist, European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), Lund, Sweden

Ishkhan Gorgisyan (leader of WG 1) is an Accelerator Scientist in the Beam Physics group at ESS. With more than ten years of experience in world-leading large-scale accelerator facilities, he has a proven track record in beam dynamics and diagnostics for both proton and electron machines, as well as in novel acceleration techniques, beamline automation, optimization, and advanced instrumentation. Having worked across different sections of a variety of accelerators, he has a comprehensive overview of the operation principles of large-scale accelerators. His work on X- ray FEL diagnostics at PSI, proton and electron beam diagnostics at CERN, X-ray beamline instrumentation at MAX IV, and beam dynamics studies at ESS has given him broad, cross- domain expertise in accelerator science. At ESS, among other activities, he develops automation routines and ML-based optimization tools for accelerator commissioning and operation, as well as explores possibilities for new machine-learning applications across the accelerator complex.
