Rashed Almasri

Graduate Research Assistant

Research Description

My research revolves around studying the behavior of ceramics in extreme environments, with a focus on:

• In-situ irradiation of ceramics at very high temperatures.
• Mechanical and chemical characterization of irradiation effects on ceramics.
• Advanced synthesis of ceramics for nuclear-oriented applications.

Research Interests

• Radiation Effects
• Advanced Manufacturing
• Characterization
• Microscopy

Background

Rashed completed his B.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering from Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) in 2018, where he joined a research group during his senior year and worked on gamma irradiation of 3D-printed PLA that resulted in a conference presentation and a peer-reviewed article. He joined the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) after graduation where he worked on the heavy earth elements extraction project. In 2019, sponsored by the Japanese government under the MEXT Scholarship program, he attended Osaka University and completed his master’s degree in Nuclear Energy Engineering in 2022 with research focused on the development of biodegradable 3D-printing composited that are enhanced mechanically and thermally by gamma irradiation, which also resulted in a symposium presentation and a peer-reviewed article.
