prof.dr.ir. J.M. van Oort (Hans)

Ever since my studies at the Low Temperature Physics Group at the University of Twente, I've been passionate about the applications of Superconductivity in Accelerators, Industrial and Medical devices. I first joined the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, working on superconducting accelerator magnets. This was followed by eight years of work in the medical diagnostic device industry.

After that I continued work in MRI system development, first as a co-founder of a medical device company in China, followed by a move to what was then still part of Europe, at Tesla Engineering in the UK, to work on a wide variety of superconducting magnet systems in high field MRI, proton therapy, particle accelerators, fusion magnets, and the semiconductor industry.

I joined the University of Twente in 2023 with the aim to develop the required technological building blocks for a sustainable future of high current superconducting applications in industry and research . My focus will be on novel HTS cable research, integration with innovative cooling technologies, and the development of stable quench free and helium free systems.
