Carmine Senatore

Head of the Group of Applied SuperconductivityUniversity of Geneva

Prof. Carmine Senatore is the head of the Group of Applied Superconductivity at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, a role he has held since 2010. He earned his MSc in Physics with honors in 2000 and completed his PhD in 2004 at the University of Salerno, Italy, where his research focused on the dynamics of magnetic vortices in superconductors. Currently, Professor Senatore's research advances superconducting materials for various applications, including high-field magnets for NMR/MRI systems, particle accelerators, and fusion reactors. His research aims to improve our understanding and control of superconductors' properties, exploring material science aspects that affect their performance and developing innovative methods for large-scale industrial production. In 2016, Professor Senatore's team, in collaboration with Bruker BioSpin, a leading company in NMR technology, achieved a major milestone by developing a high-performance superconducting coil that set a new European benchmark, reaching a magnetic field strength of 25 T with an all-superconducting magnet. He is also actively involved in CERN's studies on advanced accelerator magnets, including those for the Future Circular Collider (FCC). In 2023, Professor Senatore curated a transformation map on superconductivity for the World Economic Forum, aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of superconductors' practical applications among policymakers and industry leaders. He has published over 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and delivered more than 60 presentations at international conferences, including several plenary talks.
