NEUP Project Celebrates Research and Workforce Outcomes
Our DOE Nuclear Energy University Program project on sequential and simultaneous irradiation–creep–fatigue testing has reached its close. Supported under award DE-NE0009289, the effort brought researchers together to study materials exposed to coupled irradiation and mechanical loading.
The project also supported important career milestones. Angel Chavira and Mackenzie Warwick worked together during the research and completed successful thesis defenses. Charles Hirst moved from postdoctoral research into an assistant professorship at UW–Madison, while Warwick moved into a teaching-focused role at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. These outcomes illustrate the lasting educational impact of collaborative nuclear materials research.
