Dr. Andrea (Annie) Kritcher Team lead in the Inertial Confinement Fusion program and Group leader in Design Physics The inertial fusion community have been working towards ignition for decades, since the idea of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) was first proposed by Nuckolls, et al., in 1972. On August 8, 2021 and Dec 5th 2022,the Lawson …
Ia Aanstoot, Stockholm In what is undoubtedly a first for Berkeley Nuclear Engineering, this week’s colloquium will be given by a high school student in Stockholm, who played a critical role in delaying the COP27 climate negotiations by three hours and fundamentally changed the outcome by making it include nuclear power. The climate crisis is …
Djamel Kaoumi Associate Professor of Nuclear Engineering at North Carolina State University Abstract: When coupled to an ion beam accelerator, the spatial resolution of Transmission Electron Microscopy makes it an invaluable imaging technique to track the real-time response of microstructure under irradiation, shedding light on the mechanisms of formation and growth of defects in materials. …
Ke Sheng, Ph.D., FAAPM, Professor and Vice Chair of Medical Physics Department of Radiation Oncology, University of California, San Francisco Radiotherapy delivers an ionizing cytotoxic dose to both tumors and normal tissues. Research in the past decades has focused on reducing normal tissue dose. Protons emerged as an appealing modality for radiotherapy due to their …
Gregor Hlawaceka Institute for Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research, Helmholtz—Zentrum Dresden—Rossendorf, 01328 Dresden, Germany Abstract: I will present some recent results on the high fluence irradiation of metals using …
Per F. Peterson Distinguished Professor William and Jean McCallum Floyd Endowed Chair Department of Nuclear Engineering Abstract Fission energy is currently the largest source of zero-carbon electrical power in the United States, but expanded use has stalled due to high construction costs, long schedules, and lack of policies that credit the low carbon emissions from nuclear …
Dr. Sylvain V. Costes Space Biosciences Research Branch Chief Project Manager for Open Science for Space Biology (GeneLab/ALSDA) Director of the Radiation Biophysics Laboratory NASA Ames Research Center Abstract The challenges and risks associated with deep space missions require new knowledge discovery tools and biomedical support capabilities. To support this shift, biological data needs to …
Oppenheimer's Berkeley Years: Pioneering Research & Personal Legacy In this thought-provoking community event, UC Berkeley faculty experts will revisit and shed light on the influence and impact of J. Robert …
