Biography: I am currently working as a post-doctoral at RPI. Less than a year in RPI, I have responsibly for many projects mostly focus on the fuel materials. Presently, I have studied about how to enhance/improve oxidation resistance of U3Si2 and also fission product diffusion in metallic fuel/cladding.  I have recently graduated from Osaka University, Japan with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Science (Engineering), in March 2019. My thesis focused on Uranium Silicide as an alternative fuel for accident tolerant fuel (ATF). Throughout the 3 years of my Ph.D. program, I analyzed quantitative and qualitative data, serving as the first author of 4 manuscripts that have been accepted for publications.  In addition, I also have 1-year experience working at Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Japan, as their Special Task Researcher. For a year, I was working on the Fission product diffusion onto the cladding materials which was a project of Chemisorption under severe accident for the LWR.
Expertise: Chemical Interaction, Cladding, Nuclear Fuel
