Peter H.A. Mutsaers

Peter H.A. Mutsaers is Assistant Professor in the Coherence and Quantum Technology group at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research specializes in accelerator technology development for scientific instrumentation.

Key research areas include:

• Ultrafast electron microscopy techniques
• Compact X-ray source development (Smart*Light project)
• Laser-cooled focused ion beams
• Beam physics and instrumentation

Recent publications demonstrate advances in electron beam characterization, ultracold electron sources, and synchronization techniques for time-resolved microscopy. His work enables sub-picosecond resolution in material characterization.

He leads technical development for the Smart*Light project creating a compact, tunable X-ray source using inverse Compton scattering. Education includes PhD from TU/e (1995) on proton microprobe design. Mutsaers teaches courses in accelerators, experimental physics, and subatomic physics.
