Rate My Professor Luiz Jacobsohn

Jacobsohn's research specializes in scintillators, optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters, and luminescent materials encompassing transparent ceramics, nanoparticles, glasses, single crystals, and thin films. His investigations cover the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter, radiation damage, ceramic synthesis and processing, and structure-property relationships via optical spectroscopy. Supported by funding from NSF, DTRA, NEUP, SRNL, LANL, and NASA EPSCoR South Carolina Space Grant Consortium, he has co-authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications, one patent, and one book chapter, accumulating more than 3,300 citations. Select publications include 'High-density glass scintillators for proton radiography – relative luminosity, proton response, and spatial resolution' (2024), 'Unlocking arene phosphorescence in bismuth-organic materials' (2024), 'Promising Tb3+-doped gallium tungsten-phosphate glass scintillator: spectroscopy, energy transfer, and UV/X-ray sensing' (Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2022), 'Magnesium aluminate spinel for optically stimulated luminescence dosimetry' (Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2021), and 'The kinetic parameters of the main thermoluminescence glow peak of Al2O3:C,Mg' (Journal of Luminescence, 2022). His accolades include the NSF CAREER Award (2017), Clemson University Board of Trustees Award for Excellence (2018), Dean’s Professorship Awards (2018, 2020), and Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award (2022) at Ghent University’s LumiLab. Jacobsohn serves as Associate Editor of Optics Express, Commissioning Editor of Optical Materials X, and has co-chaired workshops and organized symposia at international conferences.
