Jim Dunn phone: 925-423-1557 James Dunn is a staff physicist in the Radiative Properties group, V-Division. His current research interests include high energy density physics, atomic spectroscopy of short pulse laser-produced plasmas and the development of short wavelength, high-brightness sources for dense plasma studies. He obtained a B.Sc. (Hons) in Natural Philosophy from The University of Glasgow, Scotland in 1981 and later achieved an M.Sc. in Experimental Space Physics at the University of Leicester, England. He completed his Ph.D. in High Resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy of Laboratory Sources from Leicester University in 1990 during which time he conducted research at Culham Laboratory, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Oxford University. He joined the National Research Council of Canada in Ottawa as a post-doctoral researcher before coming to LLNL in 1992. He led a series of experiments on tabletop x-ray lasers starting in 1997. Noteable research achievements included the first picosecond x-ray laser interferometry of laser plasmas and the demonstration of a 10 Hz sub-20nm x-ray laser. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. |
