Ihar received his bachelor’s degree in physics from the Belarusian State University in 2017. He completed his PhD program in particle accelerator physics at the University of Chicago in 2021. His thesis research was carried out at Fermilab’s Integrable Optics Test Accelerator storage ring, where he studied the statistical properties of the undulator radiation generated by a bunch of electrons and by a single electron circulating in the ring. Currently, Ihar is an assistant physicist at the Advanced Photon Source in Argonne National Laboratory. His research is focused on applications of machine learning for accelerator tuning, control, and anomaly detection.
