and RHIC and will be applied at EIC. He will also discuss ways of minimizing electromagnetic wakefields which, like the wakes that challenge ships in water, must be mitigated to increase the rate of collisions between electron and ion beams at EIC.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif">Alexei Blednykh is an accelerator physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory with more than 19 years of experience in the design, commissioning, and operation of particle accelerators.
He joined Brookhaven in 2004 as a postdoctoral researcher and was involved in the design completion, commissioning, and ramp-up of the NSLS-II accelerator complex, advancing to the rank of Scientist in 2015.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif">In 2020, Blednykh joined the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) project as Deputy Division Head for Accelerator Physics and R&D, where he provides technical guidance on collective effects, wakefield,
and beam stability. Since 2022, he is as Pre-Operations System Manager, leading planning and coordination of commissioning activities across the EIC accelerator complex. Blednykh earned his Ph.D. at Technical University of Berlin in 2003 and master's degree
at Moscow State Engineering Physics Institute in 2000.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Brookhaven Lecture Series</a> began in 1960. In the foreword to the first lectures, Brookhaven physicist Gertrude Scharff-Goldhaber wrote, "The Brookhaven Lectures, held by and for the Brookhaven staff, are meant to provide an intellectual meeting ground for
all scientists of the Laboratory. In this role, they serve a double purpose: They are to acquaint the listeners with new developments and ideas not only in their own field but also in other important fields of science, and to give them a heightened awareness
of the aims and potentialities of Brookhaven National Laboratory."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
