IDREAM Research

The scientific mission of the Ion Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials (IDREAM) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) is to master the cascade of radiation chemistry that drives far from equilibrium speciation and reactivity in chemically complex environments, linking attosecond timescales to decadal processes.
IDREAM is an interdisciplinary team of experts united around common research goals, each with unique approaches and tools with transcendent impacts. The focus areas are:
- SpatioTemporal Regime 1 (STaR1): Ultrafast Processes (Experimental Lead: Linda Young, Theory Lead: Xiaosong Li)
- SpatioTemporal Regime 2 (STaR2): Metastable Ensembles (Experimental Lead: Gregory Kimmel, Theory Lead: Aurora Clark)
- SpatioTemporal Regime 3 (STaR3): Emergent Phenomena (Experimental Lead: Kevin Rosso, Theory Lead: Gregory Schenter)
