Xperiment - Patrick Poole | TEDxBerkeley

Patrick Poole, físico pesquisador do Laboratório Nacional Lawrence Livermore, trabalha com alguns dos lasers mais potentes do mundo para estudar o comportamento da matéria em condições extremas. Sua pesquisa abrange a física de alta densidade de energia e a física de plasmas, incluindo experimentos na National Ignition Facility. Fora do laboratório, ele se dedica a tornar a ciência acessível, desde a formação de futuros cientistas da fusão até demonstrações para públicos de todas as idades. A palestra foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente por uma comunidade local.

• Comportamento da matéria em condições extremas
• Física de alta densidade de energia e de plasmas
• Formação em energia de fusão e divulgação 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
