Biography
<p><b style="background-color: var(--form); color: var(--font)">Dr. William Chuirazzi </b><span style="background-color: var(--form); color: var(--font)"> is the Instrument Scientist for Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) ZEISS Xradia 620 Versa <b>X-ray microscope</b> housed at the Irradiated Materials Characterization Laboratory (IMCL) as well as the group leader for the <b>X-ray and Neutron Sciences Diffraction and Imaging Group</b>. His research interests include applying <b>nondestructive evaluation</b>, <b>multi-modal imaging</b>, and <b>image analysis</b> for energy advancement. As an Instrument Scientist for IMCL’s X-ray microscope, Dr. Chuirazzi nondestructively <b>examines highly radioactive nuclear materials</b> to inform the traditional post-irradiation examination (PIE) process. His previous work consists of imaging and analyzing Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) TRISO particles and compacts, battery materials, and structural materials, amongst others.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: var(--form); color: var(--font)">Dr. Chuirazzi is <b>always happy to engage</b> with potential collaborators and X-ray microscope users.
