Professor Dr. Peter Hosemann

Biography

Professor Peter Hosemann received his MS in 2005 and PhD in 2008 in Material Science from Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria. He conducted PhD research focusing on bismuth eutectic corrosion, ion beam irradiations, and microscale mechanical testing at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he continued as a postdoctoral researcher before joining the faculty at UC Berkeley in 2010. Since then, Professor Hosemann has authored over 200 reviewed publications. His accolades include the Reviewer of the Journal of Nuclear Materials Award in 2014, the ANS Literature Award in 2015, and the TMS Early Career Faculty Fellow Award. He has also been recognized with the AIME Robert Lansing Hardy Award in 2018 and became Chair of the Nuclear Engineering Department in 2018, receiving the E.S. Kuh Chair in Engineering in 2020. Additionally, he serves as an associate editor for the Journal of Applied Physics. His research is focused on materials in extreme environments, including the mechanical performance and microstructural characterization of structural materials, and the implications of environmental degradation under such conditions. Key areas of interest include quantifying multi-scale mechanical properties and manufacturing processes involving micromanufacturing geometries using short, pulsed lasers.
