Xperiment - Patrick Poole | TEDxBerkeley

Patrick Poole, físico investigador del Laboratorio Nacional Lawrence Livermore, trabaja con algunos de los láseres más potentes del mundo para estudiar cómo se comporta la materia en condiciones extremas. Su investigación abarca la física de alta densidad de energía y la física de plasmas, incluidos experimentos en la National Ignition Facility. Más allá del laboratorio, se dedica a acercar la ciencia a la gente, desde la formación de futuros científicos de la fusión hasta demostraciones para públicos de todas las edades. La charla se presentó en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente por una comunidad local.

• Comportamiento de la materia en condiciones extremas
• Física de alta densidad de energía y de plasmas
• Formación en energía de fusión y divulgación científica

Patrick Poole is a research physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he works with some of the world’s most powerful lasers to explore the behavior of matter under extreme conditions. Beyond his research, Patrick is passionate about making science accessible to everyone, from developing the next generation of fusion energy scientists to bringing scientific demonstrations to audiences of all ages. Patrick Poole is a Research Physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), where he conducts plasma physics experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), the world’s largest and most energetic laser system. At LLNL Patrick’s research spans high-energy-density (HED) and plasma physics, including materials science under extreme x-ray and neutron irradiation, radiography of complex hydrodynamic phenomena, photonics based on novel plasma optics, and high-average-power laser and experiment development for extreme ultraviolet lithography. Patrick also serves as Workforce and Outreach Lead for the Livermore Institute of Fusion Technology, developing the future fusion energy workforce; Coordinator of LLNL experiments at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, supporting fundamental science and NIF campaigns; and Director of the NIF and Photon Science Summer Scholar Program, bringing hundreds of students annually to conduct cutting-edge research alongside LLNL scientists. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
