I became an engineer because I like to solve problems
I studied engineering at University of Illinois and Northwestern University
My PhD research at Argonne National Laboratory focused on nuclear reactors and how small changes in the fuel can effect the power output
Currently I use my nuclear engineering knowledge to make the world safer
I travel the world teaching people how to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons

I became an engineer because I liked math & science and wanted to help solve problems
I studied engineering at Florida State University and University of Illinois
My PhD research focused on how different nuclear reactors affect cost, waste and safety in the fuel cycle
Currently I use my nuclear engineering knowledge to make the world safer
I analyze nuclear equipment, technology to make sure they aren’t used in unsafe ways
