Our research focuses on the development and understanding of advanced nuclear materials. We investigate how these materials are designed and synthesized, how they respond to irradiation, and how they perform in extreme environments typical of nuclear systems.

​

A central theme of our work is the relationship between a material’s structure, processing, and properties — particularly at small length scales. We leverage additive and advanced manufacturing techniques; utilize electron microscopy and spectroscopy for detailed characterization; and study material behavior under high temperatures, corrosive environments, and radiation exposure.
