Trained in Mechanical Engineering, holding a B.Sc. in Physics Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics, Dr. Godeke has worked in academia, in U.S. National Laboratories, and in industry. Next to experimental and theoretical studies of high- and low-temperature superconducting materials, he has been involved in the development phase of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, worked on superconducting transformers, forefront technologies for superconducting accelerator magnets for Particle Physics, superconducting solenoid magnets for high-field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and on superconducting technologies for Proton Therapy systems for cancer treatment. He is currently working as an Independent Consultant, supporting the community on various aspects of superconductivity, with as main focus the commercial implementation of high-temperature superconductors. He has authored more than 100 scientific articles, given over 100 scientific speeches, has written 8 topical reviews, and is a leading authority on niobium-tin superconductors, the effects of mechanical loads on superconductors, and on technologies for the use of high-temperature superconductors in magnets.
