Rosana M. Turtos (Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University)

5/27/26, 9:00 AM

Dr. Rosana M. Turtos is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Aarhus University, where she leads a research group on exciton-driven scintillation and ionizing-radiation detection. 

Dr. Turtos earned her PhD in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Milano-Bicocca in 2017, where her thesis focused on prompt photon emission in scintillating materials. She...

274. An overview and perspective on scintillators for rare event search

Hyunsu Lee (Institute for Basic Science)

5/28/26, 9:00 AM

Dr. Hyun Su Lee is the Associate Director of the Center for Underground Physics (IBS) in Korea, where he leads the dark matter search program. His career has been dedicated to advancing scintillation detectors for rare event searches.

This focus began with his Ph.D.(2000-2007) thesis at Seoul National University on the KIMS experiment, "Dark matter search with CsI(Tl) crystals". He made...
