Focus

I am a nuclear engineer who uses Python, C/C++, and Fortran programs to collect, analyze, and evaluate nuclear data in an effort to improve nuclear engineering applications for clean sustainable energy. When nuclear data are missing or poorly defined, I design and execute cross section measurements to create new datasets.

Education

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

• Ph.D. Nuclear Engineering (Aug 2019) Focus: Nuclear Data

Appalachian State University

• B.S. Applied Physics (May 2014)
