Nuclear Research & Development
About the role
What are some of the exciting projects and innovations you have worked on?
What I like most about my job as a university professor is that I get to choose projects that excite me. It also allows me to work with the brightest and most motivated young minds. Two projects stand out for me in all the different research that I have had the opportunity to be a part of.
First, my work at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia where, as a NASA Administrator’s Fellow, I had the opportunity to work alongside the space agency’s top scientists, solving the radiation transport problems for the International Space Station as well as lunar and deep-space missions.
More recently, I have been involved in research that is at the cutting edge of technology and policy, with a focus on security and safeguards of nuclear materials and facilities. This project has led to tremendous professional and personal growth for me as I apply my technical knowledge and develop my communications skills to engage experts from around the world working on national and global nuclear security and safeguards challenges.
The effort has stoked the fire in me to continue to be part of an international community that seeks technology solutions for the safe and secure use of nuclear energy.
