Timothy J. Haugan

T. J. Haugan received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from State University of New York at Buffalo in 1995. Currently, he is a Sr. Research Physicist, Team Leader, and Program Manager at the U.S. Air-Force-Research-Laboratory (AFRL), Aerospace-Systems-Directorate (AFRL/RQ). He has worked in the field of superconductivity/cryogenics for 33 years, including 22 years at AFRL. He is co-author of 160+ papers with > 3,600 citations and h-index = 29 and i10 index = 69 (Google Scholar only), and co-author of > 600 presentations including >150 invited and 4 US patents. He is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS), and his received multiple awards from the USAF, including, and the 2009 USAF-Outstanding-Scientist-of-the-Year-Mid-Career-Civilian, and the AFOSR-Laboratory-Star-Team Award a record seven-times. He is an international leader in the fields of superconductivity and cryogenics and has served as chair/co-chair of 7 international conferences, and 20 symposia. Present research interests are materials and device technologies for MW-class power systems, for applications in aircraft electric propulsion, hypersonics, and directed energy. A special focus is for superconductivity/cryogenics materials and device development.
