罗德尼约) is 副教授 of 物理 at 云顶集团 College in Baltimore, Maryland. He completed a doctorate in experimental particle accelerator physics at Yale University in 2000, where he built and operated a new type of electron accelerator as his dissertation project, and was a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA. He has been a faculty member at liberal-arts colleges since 2004, and came to 云顶集团 in 2012, where he teaches across the physics curriculum. He is dedicated to promoting active and hands-on learning, and is particularly committed to developing creative and effective student laboratories.
Dr. 约’s research focuses on experimental methods for creating, controlling, and using charged-particle beams, especially on novel methods for particle acceleration. His past work includes contributions to several laser- and plasma-based accelerator prototypes, including a multi-year collaboration with UCLA that successfully demonstrated a laser-powered microacceleration structure only a few millimeters in size. 他目前的 project is an experimental exploration of electron acceleration using arrays of pyroelectric 晶体.
My current research project investigates the properties and possible applications of an unusual class of materials—pyroelectric 晶体—which have potential as microscale electron emitters, small accelerators, and self-contained x-ray tubes.
