Xperiment - Patrick Poole | TEDxBerkeley

ローレンス・リバモア国立研究所の研究物理学者パトリック・プールは、世界有数の強力なレーザーを用いて、極限状態における物質の振る舞いを研究しています。その研究は、国立点火施設(NIF)での実験を含む高エネルギー密度物理学やプラズマ物理学にわたります。研究所の外では、将来の核融合エネルギー研究者の育成から、あらゆる年齢の人々を対象とした実演まで、科学を身近なものにする活動に取り組んでいます。この講演は、地域のコミュニティが独立して運営したTEDxイベントで行われました。

• 極限状態における物質の振る舞い
• 高エネルギー密度物理学とプラズマ物理学
• 核融合エネルギー分野の人材育成と科学普及

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
