Dr Hélène FELICE
Magnet engineer at CEA Paris-Saclay
Helene Felice is a magnet engineer at CEA Paris-Saclay. She started her career at CEA Superconducting Magnet Lab doing her PhD on high field Nb3Sn dipoles for HEP. In 2007 she joined the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a LARP (LHC Accelerator Research Program) Toohig fellow before becoming a LBNL research scientist. From 2007 to 2015, she contributed to the LHC Accelerator Research Program on magnet design, magnet protection and magnet assembly. She also led the magnet design of the 28 GHz ion source magnet for FRIB. In 2015, she moved back to CEA Paris Saclay where she worked in collaboration with CERN on a NbTi large aperture quadrupole for HL-LHC and on the design of a Nb3Sn demonstrator towards FCC-hh. In 2021, she joined CERN as the Superconducting Magnet Technology section leader where she contributed to HL-LHC and to Nb3Sn magnets development. In Dec 2022, she returned to CEA Paris Saclay where she is now mainly working on the NEWGAIN project on the development of a 28 GHz Superconducting ECR ion source to be installed in GANIL, France.

Dr Jean-Luc DUCHATEAU
Jean-Luc Duchateau has had a distinguished career in the field of superconducting magnets, spanning several decades. He began his scientific journey with a Ph.D. on magnetic instabilities in superconducting composites at CEA's SupElec. Following this, he contributed to the development of superconducting generators at Electricity of France from 1977 to 1984.
From 1984 to 2013, Jean-Luc played a crucial role at CEA's Institute for Magnetic Fusion Research (IRFM). During this time, he was responsible for the Tore Supra magnet system, overseeing its commissioning, supervision, and protection. He also made significant contributions to the preparation of the TF (Toroidal Field) magnet systems for projects like ITER and JT-60SA.
Recognized for his expertise, Jean-Luc Duchateau was appointed Director of Research at CEA in 2003, with a focus on the application of superconductors. Additionally, he received the responsibility to monitor research and thesis projects at the University of Provence in 2005.
Since 2013, Jean-Luc has continued his scientific endeavours as a Scientific Adviser at CEA/IRFM. Throughout his career, he has made notable scientific contributions in the areas of superconducting composites and cable behaviour, as well as the design and optimization of superconducting magnet systems for Tokamaks, including DEMO.
Jean-Luc Duchateau's extensive experience and expertise have undoubtedly played a crucial role in advancing the field of superconducting magnets and their application in fusion research.
