Jose Ferradas Troitino is currently a Senior Fellow in the Large Magnet Facility (LMF) section at CERN. After graduating in Energy and Mining Engineering at the University of Vigo, Spain in 2014, he joined the CERN Magnets, Superconductors and Cryostats Group (MSC) as a trainee engineer to work on the development of new high-field superconducting magnets. In 2017, he started his PhD research work devoted to the study of the next-generation accelerator magnets based on Nb3Sn, which represent a novel paradigm in view of particle colliders with increased luminosity and energy. His PhD thesis, done both at the University of Geneva and CERN, covers two different domains in the field of Applied Superconductivity: Large Scale and Materials, shedding new light into the mechanical behaviour of an accelerator magnet during a quench. Since 2021, he is working in the production of the new Nb3Sn quadrupole magnets (MQXF) for the High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. These will be the first Niobium-Tin magnets ever installed in a particle accelerator.
