Seminar by Dr. Sergei Kucheyev

Nanomaterials for Fusion Energy

Guest Speaker: Dr. Sergei Kucheyev
When: 13:00-14:00; August 22
Where: Sao-Paulo Auditorium, Skolkovo School of Management

Dr. Sergei Kucheyev visits Skoltech to present on the development of fusion energy sources (lecture in English). Attendance is limited to 20. If you would like to participate, please by August 20. We will be unable to accept more applicants later than 17:00 on August 20, so please be sure to inform her as early as possible.

Seminar Description:
Development of fusion energy sources has a number of unique materials challenges. In this seminar, I will give an overview of my current research on novel materials for fusion energy applications. Emphasis will be on:

  • the development of ultra low-density nanofoams and
  • understanding dynamic and nanoscale aspects of radiation damage phenomena needed for successful ion-beam-induced modification and characterization of nanomaterials.

This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. DOE by LLNL under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344.

Guest Speaker:
Dr. Sergei Kucheyev is a physicist at Condensed Matter and Materials Division at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), having served at LLNL since 2002 first as a Lawrence Postdoctoral Fellow and subsequently as a staff scientist. He received BS and MS degrees from St. Petersburg State Technical University in Russia in 1997 and 1999, respectively, and a Ph.D. from the Australian National University in 2002.
