Dr. Jacobsohn obtained a B.Sc. in Physics in 1992, a Master degree in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering in 1994, and a D.Sc. in Physics in 1999, all from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He joined the Materials Science and Technology Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2002 as a post-doctoral research associate, and in 2005 was converted to limited term technical staff member in the same Division. In 2009, he joined Clemson University’s Department of Materials Science as a research faculty. Presently, he is associate professor with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and a researcher affiliated with the University’s Center for Nuclear Environmental Engineering Sciences and Radioactive Waste Management, NEESRWM, and the University’s Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies, COMSET. Dr. Jacobsohn’s research interests are in the areas of scintillators, OSL dosimeters, radiation damage, and luminescent materials in general, including transparent ceramics, nanoparticles, glasses and thin films. He has more than 20 years of experience in materials synthesis, processing and characterization and has authored 1 patent issued, 1 book chapter, and more than 136 publications that received more than 2160 citations to date. He co-chaired the 6th International Workshop on Photoluminescence in Rare Earths: Photonic Materials and Devices (PRE’16) in 2016 and was the Managing Guest Editor of the conference proceedings published as a special issue of Optical Materials in 2017. He co-organized the symposium “Application of Luminescent Materials for Radiation Detection” as part of the International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies (Pacifichem), Hawaii, December 2021, and he is a member of the Organizing Committee of the 16th International Conference on Scintillating Materials and their Applications (SCINT), Santa Fe, NM, September 2022. His research is or has been funded by the National Science Foundation, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Nuclear Energy University Program, NASA EPSCoR SC Space Grant Consortium, Savannah River National Lab, and Los Alamos National Lab. Dr. Jacobsohn is the recipient of the prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER award in 2017, of the Board of Trustees of Clemson University Award for Excellence in 2018, of the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Dean’s Professorship Award, Clemson University in 2018, of the David and Mary Ann Bishop Dean’s Professorship Award in 2020, and the Fulbright U.S. Scholar in 2022.
