Tim Classen is a staff scientist at LLNL in the Rare Event Detection group. Dr. Classen's primary research interests reside in antineutrino detection, both for fundamental physics measurements, as well as development of antineutrino detection for nuclear safeguards. He has a long history in experimental neutrino physics including KamLAND and Double Chooz, and is currently a member of the PROSPECT experiment.
In addition, as part of the NIFFTE collaboration, Dr. Classen works towards improving nuclear data measurements. He also works to adapt detector technology for national security applications, particularly for neutron detection and spectroscopy applications.
