معرفی
Deseree Meyer Brittingham is an Instructor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Agnes Scott College. Her research focuses on experimental nuclear physics, with expertise in nuclear structure studies and transitional nuclei excitations. She earned her Ph.D. in 2006 from Yale University under the advisement of Richard Casten, completing a dissertation titled Nuclear structure studies in the rare earth and trans-lead regions.
Her doctoral work explored two key areas: spectroscopic analysis of 209Fr, revealing an isomer with a 446(14) ns half-life and excited states up to 2.6 MeV, and the investigation of 0+ excitations in rare earth nuclei using (p,t) reaction studies. These experiments utilized advanced techniques like the SASSYER gas-filled spectrometer and DWBA calculations to identify novel nuclear states and validate phase transition theories.
No scientific awards or grants are explicitly noted in the provided information. Her current role involves teaching and contributing to experimental physics research at Agnes Scott College.
