As a research scientist at the Shock Physics group in LLNL I am responsible of the the design and execution of complex high-energy density experiments at the most powerful laser in the world, the National Ignition Facility, Livermore (CA) and the Omega Laser at Rochester (NY), the data analysis and the communication of the results we obtain through publications, conferences and seminars. My responsibilities also include effective coordination of multiple projects and people, and mentoring… Show more As a research scientist at the Shock Physics group in LLNL I am responsible of the the design and execution of complex high-energy density experiments at the most powerful laser in the world, the National Ignition Facility, Livermore (CA) and the Omega Laser at Rochester (NY), the data analysis and the communication of the results we obtain through publications, conferences and seminars. My responsibilities also include effective coordination of multiple projects and people, and mentoring younger scientists. The scope of the research is broad and includes characterization of material properties under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure for material applications, geophysical and planetary sciences and the seek of better energy sources through the inertial fusion confinement project.

Livermore, Ca

My activity is focused in research projects related to high-energy-density (HED) physics, astrophysics and planetary science. I actively participate in the performance of ultrafast-laser heating and shock wave experiments to explore material properties (e.g.: transport, electronic,...) of matter in extreme conditions.

During my PhD I worked with several heavy fermion systems in order to characterize and understand their unique phenomena like superconductivity and magnetic phase transitions when these systems are cooled down to very low temperatures, < 1 Kelvin, and submit to high pressures using diamond anvil cells. I setup a pressure in-situ device in a dilution cryostat that greatly improved the performance and execution of such challenging experiments. Study of several Yb-based systems (heavy fermions)… Show more During my PhD I worked with several heavy fermion systems in order to characterize and understand their unique phenomena like superconductivity and magnetic phase transitions when these systems are cooled down to very low temperatures, < 1 Kelvin, and submit to high pressures using diamond anvil cells.
