Xperiment - Patrick Poole | TEDxBerkeley

Patrick Poole, physicien de recherche au Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, travaille avec certains des lasers les plus puissants au monde pour étudier le comportement de la matière dans des conditions extrêmes. Ses recherches portent sur la physique des hautes densités d'énergie et des plasmas, notamment les expériences menées au National Ignition Facility. En dehors du laboratoire, il s'attache à rendre la science accessible, de la formation des futurs scientifiques de la fusion aux démonstrations destinées à tous les âges. L'intervention a eu lieu lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante par une communauté locale.

• Comportement de la matière dans des conditions extrêmes au NIF
• Physique des plasmas et des hautes densités d'énergie
• Formation à la fusion et vulgarisation scientifique

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
