Nicholas Gentile, PhD

Nicholas Gentile is a Physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he contributes to radiation transport modeling for inertial confinement fusion and high-energy-density physics. Gentile earned his undergraduate degree before completing his Ph.D. in applied science at the University of California, Davis/Livermore program, where his fellowship began in 1988. His career at Livermore has focused on developing and validating Monte Carlo radiation transport codes used to simulate the behavior of photons and neutrons in fusion targets and other extreme environments.
