Lieselotte Obst-Huebl is a German research scientist at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Center[1], where she leads high energy density science experiments and supports user campaigns at the BELLA petawatt (PW) laser system.[2] Her research encompasses laser-driven ion acceleration (a technique to generate high-energy ions using intense laser pulses), plasma mirror development (creating reflective surfaces from ionized gas to improve laser focus and contrast), targetry (the design and preparation of targets for laser experiments), and diagnostics (methods for monitoring and analyzing experimental conditions and outcomes)
Education
[edit]Obst-Huebl earned her Diplom (equivalent to a master's degree) in physics from Technische Universität Dresden in 2014. She completed her Ph.D. in physics at the same institution in 2019, conducting her doctoral research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). Her dissertation work received the Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award from the American Physical Society (APS).[3]
Research
[edit]At the BELLA Center, Obst-Huebl leads high energy density science experiments utilizing the BELLA Petawatt (PW) laser system. Her research encompasses laser-driven ion acceleration, plasma mirror development, targetry, and diagnostics.
She has contributed to the development of compact, tunable proton beamlines for ultra-high dose rate radiobiological studies, including investigations into the FLASH effect in cancer therapy.[4]
