Overview
The Stanford-Berkeley Summer School is jointly organized by Stanford University, University of California Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. The summer school will provide basic lectures on the synchrotron radiation process; requisite technologies, and a broad range of scientific applications in the Physical Science. The goal of the school is to disseminate information about scientific opportunities in synchrotron radiation applications and train students on experimental techniques. It provides an interdisciplinary and intellectually stimulating environment through dedicated problem solving sessions and round table discussions.
Program Organizers
David Attwood, Ph.D.
David Attwood is a lead lecturer and co-coordinator of this program. He is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and director of LBL’s Center for X-Ray Optics. His expertise is in the areas of soft x-ray, extreme ultraviolet radiation, optics, coherence, and applications to microscopy and lithography.
Anders Nilsson, Ph.D.
Anders Nilsson is a lead lecturer and co-coordinator of this program. He is an associate professor at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, Stanford University, guest professor of physics at Stockholm University in Sweden and deputy director of Stanford Institute of Materials and Energy Science. His expertise is in the areas of photoelectron, x-ray absorption, and emission spectroscopies, and chemical physics on surfaces and aqueous solutions.
