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 gas field ion source (GFIS) based helium ion microscope (HIM)1 . High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a relatively new class of metal alloys composed of …
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 Oppenheimer's research and teaching at UC Berkeley. With the upcoming release of director Christopher Nolan's anticipated film, Oppenheimer, which was partly filmed at UC Berkeley, …
August 31st, 2023 Chairman Massimiliano (Max) Fratoni is hosting his 2nd Molten Salt Bootcamp September 6-8, 2023.
Wendy Gu Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University Abstract Understanding hydrogen degradation of metals is critical to the green hydrogen economy. Here, I will describe the synchrotron transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) to image iron thin films that simultaneously undergo electrochemical hydrogen charging. This enables the observation of void-mediated crack growth, the coalescence …
Alexia Cosby, Ph.D. The mouse model is an essential component for validating preclinical research. Here at LBNL, we use the mouse model to investigate two distinct challenges: 1) designing and evaluating radiotheranostics, and 2) understanding radiocontamination in the event of a nuclear disaster.Radiotheranostics for cancer diagnosis is a dynamic approach to dually diagnose and …
