Daniel Bafia is an associate scientist at the superconducting quantum materials and systems center at Fermilab studying the origins of RF loss in materials used in the fabrication of 3-D resonators and superconducting qubits. In addition to his research, he currently serves as the cavity technical lead at Fermilab for the LCLS-II HE project. He obtained his PhD from Illinois Institute of Technology in 2020 where he focused on understanding the origins of loss in niobium superconducting radio-frequency cavities which won him first place at the IPAC’19 conference student poster competition.
