Lee Bernstein is the Bay Area Nuclear Data Group Leader at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) and an Associate Professor in the UC Berkeley Department of Nuclear Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in nuclear physics from Rutgers University in 1994 and was a staff scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory before moving to LBNL and UC Berkeley in 2016. Dr. Bernstein's research is centered on exploring how nuclear structure influences low-energy nuclear reactions relevant to modeling astrophysical nucleosynthesis, novel fast nuclear reactors and isotope production for medical and national security applications.
