Join us for a seminar with Dr. Jennifer L. Gottfried, University of Chicago, titled “Microscale Experiments to Measure Energetic Material Performance and Sensitivity”.

The seminar will begin at 3pm ET on April 5, 2022.

Please contact Veronica Turner for connection information.

Bio: Dr. Gottfried obtained a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Chicago in August 2005, receiving numerous fellowships and awards for excellence in academics and research, including a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship and the William Rainey Harper Dissertation Fellowship. She joined the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in September 2005 as a postdoctoral fellow and was hired in May 2008. Dr. Gottfried recently received a Department of the Army Civilian Service Commendation Medal for outstanding technical excellence. Dr. Gottfried has written four book chapters and has more than 60 peer-reviewed papers, including four invited reviews and four featured cover articles. She has also published more than 90 ARL technical reports. She has been an invited speaker at 18 international conferences and taught short courses on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and chemometric analysis. Dr. Gottfried’s current work is focused on laser spectroscopy of energetic materials for laboratory-scale characterization, model validation, and a fundamental understanding of reaction mechanisms during explosive initiation.
