Structural Analysis Engineer at Standard Nuclear

May 2026 - present, Oak Ridge, TN

I design and analyze structures for nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP). My work spans component design, manufacturing, and experimental testing, alongside structural and thermal simulation to evaluate material and component response.

Contributions

• Design structures for nuclear thermal propulsion applications.
• Perform static structural and thermal analyses and material modeling using Ansys.
• Manufacture and experimentally test components I design, connecting simulation, fabrication, and physical testing.
• Use OpenFOAM for engineering simulations.
• Contribute to a fuel container project.

Methods and tools: Ansys Static Structural, Thermal, Material Modeller, OpenFOAM, component fabrication, and experimental testing.
