Staff and students from the Applied Nuclear Physics (ANP) program attended the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference in Milan in November. The meeting is the largest annual radiation instrumentation conference. Members of ANP and affiliated graduate students delivered a total of 19 presentations.
Nu Xu, from NSD’s Relativistic Nuclear Collisions Program has been awarded a prestigious Research Award from the Humboldt Foundation in Germany. Humboldt Research Awards are awarded to internationally leading researchers of all disciplines in recognition of their academic accomplishments.
Agnieszka Sorensen, who carried out a substantial amount of her research at LBNL under the supervision of NSD’s Volker Koch, has received the American Physical Society’s 2023 Dissertation Award in Nuclear Physics for her work using an innovative approach to study the speed of sound in dense nuclear matter.
Raul Briceno has joined the UC Berkeley Physics Department as an Assistant Professor with a joint affiliation with the NSD Nuclear Theory Program. Raul’s research focuses on understanding the emergence of low-energy nuclear physics directly from quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
