- Biography
Kenneth D. Cooper is an Associate Staff Irradiation Engineer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a Ph.D. candidate in Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M University. His research focuses on nuclear material development for fission and fusion applications, with particular interest in irradiation effects, corrosion behavior, and the development of experimental techniques to study isolated and coupled degradation mechanisms. He has led the design of advanced irradiation platforms and in situ diagnostics, including high-temperature Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry, to evaluate structural materials under extreme conditions. Kenneth is also a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship for his work on isotope separation using graphene nanostructures.
