Research Description

I am currently working toward a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering, focusing on the development of novel methodologies for mechanistic source term and radiological dose consequences for probabilistic risk assessment (PRA). This work aims to enhance consequence analysis and uncertainty quantification as part of the licensing modernization project and to advance risk-informed safety analysis strategies for Generation IV+ reactor designs.

Background

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering from North Carolina State University in the Spring of 2024. My undergraduate research concentrated on modeling historical radiological releases and improving nuclear emergency response through air sampling and monitoring techniques. I am currently employed as a co-op at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), where I am a member of the Accident Analysis Branch of the Division of Systems Analysis. My research focuses on regulatory research involving the MACCS code suite and nuclear emergency response techniques.
