Paul Neill

Paul Neill is the Clemons-Magee Endowed Professor and Chair of Physics at the University of Nevada, Reno. He holds a PhD from Queen's University Belfast and specializes in particle/photon spectroscopy for atomic/molecular systems and laboratory/astrophysical plasmas. His professional experience includes roles as Director of University Core Curriculum and visiting positions at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Research spans experimental diagnostics of high-energy plasmas, X-ray emission mechanisms, and atomic collision dynamics, with applications in solar physics and astrophysics.

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on X-ray spectroscopy, charge-exchange phenomena, and plasma diagnostics across solar, cometary, and laboratory contexts. Recent work emphasizes simulation validation and precision measurement techniques.
