June 2007 Aug 2007
Special Programs Guest as a Summer Student
I worked for the "LANL D-4" Energy & Infrastructure Analysis Group, on a NISAC (National Infrastructure Simulation & Analysis Center) project. The project was to support improvements for generating DHS Asset Impact Playbooks.

Research & Teaching AssistantMay 2003-Aug 2004
1Research on Radiation effects on electronics: Built a reference database of current research in radiation effects on electronic devices.
2Researched current literature on radiation effects from the Journal: IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, other websites, articles, and books, for making tutorials introducing radiation effects on electronic devices.
3I did radiation effects testing using the UMR Reactor facility (UMRR); on MPS6521 NPN Amplifier transistor measuring thermal neutron radiation effects.
4Teaching Assistant for Nuclear Engineering Junior/Senior level courses.
University of Missouri - Rolla Rolla, MO
Research AssistantAug 2001-May 2003
I participated in the modeling of nuclear fuel assembly using MCNPX: Geometry modeling of an ADS (Accelerator Driven System) for transmutation of nuclear waste. MCNPX input file for the geometry definition of a 17 x 17 fuel rod array, and the placement of six of theses fuel assemblies around a spallation neutron target. The input file also contained elementary source, tally and material definitions (input cards).

Graded Lab reports, and Homework
Graded Exams
Conducted research and contributed to eight papers (the first eight publications in the list under Publications), involving the Mossbauer Effect spectrum. In particular I did Mossbauer data collection and analysis, and study of the Mossbauer Effect. Data collections included sample preparation, and maintain constant liquid nitrogen level in the Dewer. Data analysis included data folding before fitting the Iron Mossbauer spectrum. The Iron Mossbauer spectrum fits were used to determine the magnetic and chemical properties of Spinel Ferrites, iron containing chemical complexes, Nanocomposites, Magnetic Nanopowders, Perovskites, Alloys, and Iron compounds.
