Associate Professor in the School of Nuclear Science & Engineering at Oregon State University. Research interests include enabling next-generation nuclear reactor technologies through materials design and development. Expertise in microstructural characterization and microscopy of radiation damage in materials, with a focus on advanced steels and structural metals.Graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics while studying under Dr. Todd Allen/Kumar Sridharan. Dissertation research emphasizes characterization of precipitates in FeCrAl alloys using correlative microscopy techniques, including atom probe tomography, small-angle neutron scattering, and analytical transmission electron microscopy techniques. Previously worked at the In-situ Ion Irradiation Transmission Electron Microscopy (I3TEM) facility at Sandia National Laboratories studying microstructural evolution of materials exposed to extreme environments.Graduated from Oregon State University with a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering and minors in Mathematics and Chemistry in 2011. Previous experience includes modeling radiation transport and reactor criticality using computer software packages such as MCNP5, Attila and SCALE6.
