- Biography
Dr. Adrien J. Terricabras is currently a postdoctoral research associate at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is conducting research on the impact of processing and fabrication methods on nuclear fuel properties and microstructure on both UN-based ceramic-metal composite (CerMet) fuels and UO2-based ceramic-ceramic (CerCer) fuels. He obtained his PhD in Energy Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee with Dr. Steven Zinkle as primary advisor. His doctoral research focused on ion irradiation effects on advanced nuclear fuels, specifically on high thermal conductivity nuclear fuel surrogates and nitride coatings for coated particle fuels application. He graduated with an A.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Nîmes Institute of Technology (France), studied Chemical Engineering during his third year at the University of the West of Scotland (UK) and received a M.S. in Radiochemistry and Nuclear Materials Science from the University of Montpellier (France).
