Oral-History:IEEE Council on Superconductivity Interviews
From ETHW
IEEE Council on Superconductivity Oral Histories
Beginning in 2014, The IEEE History Center undertook a series of Oral Histories with prominent individuals in the field of superconductivity.
- René Flükiger - Flükiger, working mainly at the University of Geneva and at Karlsruhe, studied the metallurgy and structure of a variety of superconductivity, and then applied that knowledge to the production of superconducting wires and tapes.
- Moises Levy - Levy's research, chiefly at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, focused on the intersection of ultrasonics and superconductivity. He also played a central role in the development and evolution of the IEEE Council on Superconductivity.
- Alexis P. Malozemoff - Malozemoff spent the 19 years of his career at IBM research, where he was best known for the co-discovery of the “giant flux creep” and the irreversibility line in high temperature superconductors (HTS). He spent the remainder of his career at American Superconductor, where he was in charge, among other activities, of AMSC’s rise to a leading role in high temperature superconducting wire and its applications.
- Theodore Van Duzer - Van Duzer spent his long career at the University of California-Berkeley developing superconducting devices and circuits. He was also the founding editor of the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity.
