Welcome.

I am a Stanton Postdoctoral Fellow at the MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Security and Policy (LNSP), where I study air-breathing nuclear propulsion systems.

 

Previously, I have contributed to GPT-4, 3D radiation mapping systems, tokamak divertor design, zero-knowledge warhead verification systems, fuel rod quality control systems and innovative approaches to computed tomography.

Additionally, I serve as a radiation safety and research advisor to Clean Futures Fund, a  501(c3) nonprofit focused on providing relief to those in and around the Chornobyl exclusion zone.

 

Along with my business partner, I operate Western Nucleonics, offering design, simulation and hardware development services for applications of ionizing radiation. I am also the co-owner of Emerald Industrial, a commercial R&D-focused space.
