معرفی
Dorthea Gjestvang is a Lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Oslo, affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Her research focuses on understanding the fission process in heavy nuclei, particularly the photons emitted during fission, which provide insights into the system's excitation energy and angular momentum. She collaborates internationally to conduct experimental and theoretical studies at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory.
Education:
- B.Sc in Physics, Astronomy & Meteorology (2014-2017)
- M.Sc in Nuclear Physics (2017-2019)
- PhD in Nuclear Physics (2019-2023)
Research interests include nuclear fission dynamics, photon emission analysis, and testing state-of-the-art models against experimental data. Her work bridges experimental measurements and theoretical frameworks to advance understanding of fission mechanisms.
Publications span studies on isomeric yield ratios, neutron capture cross-sections, and gamma-ray strength functions in isotopes like neodymium and tin. She has contributed to experiments at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory and collaborates with international teams on projects such as angular momentum generation in fission.
Teaching includes roles as Lecturer for FYS4580 (2019, 2021, 2023) and Colloquium Teacher for FYS3500 (2020, 2021).
