Luiz G. JacobsohnAssistant Professor, MSE, Clemson University

• Primary Research Interest: Microstructural effects on scintillation performance

• Primary Broader Impact Activity:Mentoring of undergrad (2) and grad (4) students + Creation of a “pump-line” between undergrad (Coe College) and grad school (Clemson)

• Interests in New Collaborations: Single crystals

• Scintillators transform a high energy photon into thousands of UV/visible photons

• Health, security, energy, and fundamental science

• Goal: To establish relations between fabrication conditions, microstructure, and trap characteristics with scintillation performance

• Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG):Pr or Ce ceramics, powders, crystals
