معرفی
Dr. Iris Dillmann is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Victoria and Senior Research Scientist at TRIUMF, where she leads the Exotic Decay Spectroscopy Group. Her research focuses on nuclear astrophysics, particularly the creation of elements heavier than iron in stars. She conducts experiments at international facilities including GSI Darmstadt (Germany), IGISOL (Finland), and RIKEN (Japan).
Her group investigates two main areas: decays of very neutron-rich nuclei (beta-delayed neutron emitters) and decay rate modifications of highly-charged ions. She is pioneering new research directions involving coupling heavy ion storage rings with neutron targets to measure neutron capture cross-sections of short-lived nuclei.
Research Interests:
- Nuclear astrophysics and element synthesis
- Experimental nuclear physics
- Storage ring physics
- Exotic decay spectroscopy
Awards:
- Helmholtz Young Investigators Grant (2010)
- NSERC Discovery Accelerator Supplement (2014)
She teaches courses in nuclear physics applications and isotope science at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and serves on multiple international committees including IUPAP Commission C12 (Nuclear Physics).
