Yue Hao

Dr. Yue Hao is a Professor at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) and the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Michigan State University. He joined FRIB in late 2016 with a joint appointment and has previously worked as a physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory and an adjunct professor at Stony Brook University.

• 2008: Ph.D. in Accelerator Physics, Indiana University
• 2003: B.S. in Physics, University of Science and Technology of China

Hao's research focuses on beam dynamics effects in accelerators, including:

• Coherent synchrotron radiation compensation
• Energy recovery linac (ERL) design
• Beam-beam interactions in colliders
• Nonlinear lattice optimization
• Machine learning applications in accelerators
• Crab cavity implementation for flat beam collisions

His recent work emphasizes computational methods for beam dynamics simulation, with applications to the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and FRIB projects. Key trends include auto-differentiation frameworks, entropy-based regularization techniques, and advanced beam-beam modeling.

Professor Hao teaches courses in accelerator systems and honors research seminars. His work involves high-performance computing resources and numerical methods for nonlinear dynamics analysis, including the Square Matrix Method and time-delayed Koopman networks.
