Oversee the work of six employees in the surface preparation of irradiated nuclear materials from hot cell to various characterization instruments. Assist in the management of inter- and intra-facility process scheduling for streamlined workflow and elimination of possible backlogs and bottlenecks. Design and implement new sample preparation techniques with input from lead researchers to increase sample quality, throughput, and to reduce risk to employees and public.

Conduct research on irradiated nuclear fuels and structural materials from commercial, academic, and governmental sources using microscopes (JEOL 700F, FEI 3D Quanta FIB, FEI Helios G4 PFIB) equipped with materials characterization suites (EDS, WDS, EBSD). Implement safe, modern radiological sample preparation techniques to improve sample quality and throughput in the Electron Microscopy Laboratory and Irradiated Materials Characterization Laboratory at the Materials and Fuels Complex.
