معرفی
Luiz G. Jacobsohn is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Clemson University, affiliated with the Center for Nuclear Environmental Engineering Sciences and Radioactive Waste Management (NEESRWM) and the Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies (COMSET). He holds the David and Mary Ann Bishop Dean’s Professorship and has received notable awards including the NSF CAREER Award (2017) and a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award (2022). His research focuses on luminescent materials, scintillators, and radiation detection technologies, emphasizing transparent ceramics, nanoparticles, and glass systems.
Education: D.Sc. (Physics, 1999), M.S. (Materials Engineering, 1994), B.Sc. (Physics, 1992) all from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Prior to Clemson, he was a postdoctoral researcher and technical staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory (2002–2009).
Research Interests: Synthesis and characterization of luminescent materials, radiation-matter interactions, scintillator development, and optical dosimetry. Key areas include thermoluminescence, radiation damage mitigation, and advanced ceramics for nuclear applications.
Professional Activities: Co-chaired the 6th International Workshop on Photoluminescence in Rare Earths (2016), organized sessions at SCINT 2021 and Pacifichem 2021, and serves on conference committees. His research is funded by NSF, DTRA, NASA, and national laboratories.
Labs: The Light Factory laboratory focuses on materials synthesis, processing, and luminescence studies. Active collaborations exist with LANL, SRNL, and international institutions.
