Richard Petrasso 博士是麻省理工學院等離子體科學與聚變中心高能密度物理部門的高級科學家和聯合創始人。他與同事和學生合著了 200 多篇關於等離子體物理學的技術論文。他最近的工作重點是利用核反應和產物來闡明慣性約束內爆和高能量密度激光等離子體的基本物理學。在這項工作中，他、同事和學生利用核單能粒子和相關反應來識別場、面密度、不對稱性和瞬態高能量密度等離子體的其他重要等離子體特性，無論是重新連接等離子體還是直接或間接驅動的內爆。
目前，Petrasso 博士正在支持對幾名麻省理工學院學生的監督，他們除了從事以歐米茄設施為重點的項目和實驗外，還深入參與了幾個國家點火設施核診斷的部署和分析，其中燃料和外殼區域密度、內爆對稱性、離子溫度、衝擊和壓縮爆炸時間（來自 D3He 內爆反應）以及初級產率。為了反映這種參與，他以前的兩個博士生 Daniel Casey 博士和 Michael Rosenberg 博士是第一批在博士論文中利用、分析和包含來自國家點火設施的數據作為基本要素和章節的學生。此外，他最近的博士生馬里奧·曼努埃爾博士剛剛獲得了美國物理學會等離子體物理分部頒發的享有盛譽和令人垂涎的 Marshall Rosenbluth 傑出博士論文獎。 Mario 是第一位獲得該獎項的博士生，獲得 NNSA/DOE 資助。
Petrasso 博士還是 Omega 激光用戶組 (OLUG) 的主席和共同發起人，該組由來自 19 個不同國家的 44 所大學、29 個中心和國家實驗室的 700 多名科學家、學生、博士後組成。 OLUG 力求在學生和年輕研究人員的大力參與下，促進 Omega 用戶之間的合作，促進 Omega 設施的新穎物理實驗，並利用 Omega 開發的平台並將其轉移到國家點火設施以及更溫和的設施。為了實現這些目標，OLUG 與激光能量學實驗室的管理人員和技術人員密切合作。
2013 年，Petrasso 博士獲得了享有盛譽的 Edward Teller 獎章，該獎章旨在表彰在使用激光和離子粒子束為科學研究和受控熱核聚變產生極高溫度和高密度物質方面的開創性研究和領導力。他的獲獎感言是：“開創性地使用核診斷來理解慣性約束聚變內爆和高能量密度物理學。”他還是美國物理學會的會員。
Petrasso 博士於 1972 年在布蘭代斯大學獲得實驗原子物理學博士學位，並獲得學士學位。 1967 年畢業於俄勒岡州立大學。
Dr. Richard Petrasso is a Senior Scientist and co-originator of the High-Energy-Density Physics Division at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT. With colleagues and students, he has coauthored over 200 technical papers on plasma physics. His recent work focuses on utilizing nuclear reactions and products for illuminating the basic physics of inertial confinement implosions and of high-energy-density laser-plasmas. In this work he, colleagues and students have utilized nuclear monoenergetic particles and associated reactions to discern fields, areal densities, asymmetries, and other important plasma properties of transient high-energy-density plasmas, be they reconnecting plasmas or directly or indirectly driven implosions.
Currently Dr. Petrasso is supporting the supervision of several MIT students who, in addition to working on projects and experiments focused on the Omega facility, are deeply involved in the fielding and analysis of several National Ignition Facility nuclear diagnostics, with which fuel and shell areal density, implosion symmetry, ion temperature, shock and compression bang times (from D3He implosion reactions), and primary yield are discerned. Reflecting this involvement, two of his previous PhD students, Dr. Daniel Casey and Dr. Michael Rosenberg, were the first students to ever utilize, analyze, and include as essential elements and chapters in their PhD theses, data from the National Ignition Facility. In addition, his recent PhD student, Dr. Mario Manuel, was just awarded the highly prestigious and coveted Marshall Rosenbluth Outstanding Doctoral Thesis award by the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics. Mario is the first PhD student supported by NNSA/DOE grants to ever receive this award.
Dr. Petrasso was also the chair and co-originator of the Omega Laser Users Group (OLUG), which is comprised of over 700 scientists, students, postdocs from 44 universities, 29 Centers and National Laboratories, and 19 different countries. OLUG seeks, with the strong participation of students and young researchers, to promote collaborations among Omega users, to facilitate novel physics experiments at the Omega facility, and to utilize and transfer platforms developed at Omega to the National Ignition Facility as well as to more modest facilities. In achieving these goals, OLUG partners closely with the management and technical staff of the Laboratory of Laser Energetics.
In 2013 Dr. Petrasso received the prestigious Edward Teller Medal, which recognizes pioneering research and leadership in the use of laser and ion-particle beams to produce extraordinarily high-temperature and high-density matter for scientific research and for controlled thermonuclear fusion. His citation for the award reads: “for pioneering the use of nuclear diagnostics for understanding inertial confinement fusion implosions and high-energy-density physics.” He is also a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
Dr. Petrasso received his PhD from Brandeis University in experimental atomic physics in 1972, and his B.S. from Oregon State University in 1967.

Background:
Richard D. Petrasso received his B.S. from Oregon State University in 1967 and his Ph.D. from Brandeis University in 1972. His research has focused on high-energy-density (HED) and inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) plasmas. In the late 1980s, Dr. Petrasso collaborated with Ph.D. student Chikang Li, to study the slowing of energetic charged particles in HED plasmas in order to determine plasma properties. Together with researchers from the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Sandia National Laboratories, and several MIT students and staff, Dr. Petrasso helped create diagnostics and analyses used at Omega Laser Facility and the National Ignition Facility at LLNL. This included the multiple monoenergetic particle source (MMPS), based on imploding thin-shelled (~ 2 mic) capsules (~ 400 mic diam) filled with D and 3He. Through this high-temperature (~10 keV), shock-driven implosion, fusion products of 14.7 MeV and 3.0 MeV protons, 3.6 MeV alphas, 1.0 MeV T, and 0.8 MeV 3He ions are isotropically emitted (~10**9) in ~75 ps. The MMPS is being used by the HED community to radiograph and analyze fields and plasma evolution, and to study stopping power in classical and WDM plasmas. The MMPS was utilized by the 2014 and 2016 Marshall Rosenbluth Outstanding Thesis awardees, Drs. Mario Manuel and Michael Rosenberg. Dr. Petrasso is currently researching equilibration between electrons, impurity ions, and fuel ions in HED plasmas (this conference). In 2013, Dr. Petrasso received the Edward Teller Medal for development of novel HED/ICF diagnostics and analyses. He heads the HED Physics Division in the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center, and is a fellow of the American Physical Society.
