DESCRIPTION:\n\nLINXS Guest Seminar - Paul Langan\, Director General of th
 e Institut Laue Langevin (ILL)\n\nBio:\nPaul Langan is Director General of
  the Institut Laue Langevin\, a premiere international research center ope
 rating a nuclear reactor that provides intense beam of neutrons for basic 
 and applied research. Over the years the ILL has made several stellar scie
 ntific contributions and will be positioned to enable wholly new types of 
 exciting experiments on completion of a major upgrade of its research capa
 bilities within two years. Those capabilities include neutron scattering\,
  isotope production\, nuclear and particle physics\, materials irradiation
 \, and theory.\n\n Prior to the ILL\, Paul was an Associate Laboratory Di
 rector at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with responsibility for leading th
 e operation and development of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and the
  High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) user facilities. Oak Ridge played a majo
 r role in the early application and development of neutron scattering to m
 aterials research at the world’s first reactor-based neutron sources. To
 day\, the capabilities of the SNS and HFIR are broad and include neutron s
 cattering\, isotope production\, accelerator research\, neutrino physics\,
  materials irradiation\, fundamental particle physics\, gamma irradiation 
 and materials activation analysis.\n\n In earlier career Paul was involve
 d in construction of novel neutron scattering capabilities at Los Alamos N
 ational Laboratory\, and led several research teams to address scientific 
 challenges in areas including bioenergy\, bioengineering\, cell signalling
  and rational drug design. Other assignments in Biology\, Chemistry and Ph
 ysics have included various joint faculty positions as Professor at Univer
 sities\, editorial positions in journals\, leadership positions in profess
 ional organizations\, and leadership of multiple research projects at Nati
 onal Laboratories in the US.\n\n Paul received a Bachelor of Science degr
 ee with honors in Physics from Edinburgh University and then a Doctor of P
 hilosophy degree from Keele University. Paul’s major areas of research i
 nterest and impact have been in structural biology\, biomass and bioenergy
 \, computational methods and the development of new technologies and metho
 ds for X-ray and neutron scattering.\n\nAbstract:\n\n\nWebinar moderators\

 ties. Please let us know if you don’t want to be in any photos/films bef
 ore we start the event. Some webinars are recorded to be used for educatio
 nal purposes in the LINXS website.\n\nBy registering to our events you giv
