Japanese researchers test detection devices at West Valley
Two research scientists from Japan’s Kyoto University and Kochi University of Technology visited the West Valley Demonstration Project in western New York state earlier this fall to test their novel radiation detectors, the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management announced on November 19.
Mathematics & Computation (M&C) 2021 Speaker
Chris Fryer got his B.A. in Mathematics and Astrophysics at UC Berkeley in 1992 and PhD in Astronomy at the University of Arizona in 1996. After a post-doctoral fellowship at UC Santa Cruz, he joined Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2000, first as a Feynman Fellow and then as a staff scientist. His work encompasses a broad range of LANL programs and academic studies, but he has primary focused on modeling laboratory radiation-flow experiments and astrophysical transients. For his work in astrophysics including the first 3-dimensional models of core-collapse supernovae, he was named an APS and AAAS fellow. His combined work led to him being named a LANL fellow and receiving the E.O. Lawrence award. He is currently the chair of the APS Division of Astrophysics unit.
