Job Experience	Idaho National Laboratory & Washington State University INL Space Nuclear Systems & Technology Division   Research Associate, November 2007 (current) ·  Design of nuclear power and propulsion subsystems ·  Multi-physics Analysis ·  Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD)   The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy, Science, and Technology (NE) is supporting the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in evaluating space fission power and propulsion systems and technologies [other than those that may be required for the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) mission] to support the implementation of the Vision for Space Exploration (VSE). NASA will need increased power for propulsion and for surface power applications to support both robotic and human space exploration missions. As part of a project for the development of nuclear reactor technologies for multi-mission spacecrafts an Annular Linear Induction Pump, also known as EM pump or ALIP, had to be designed. My work consisted in the design, modeling, simulation and construction of Annular Linear Induction Pumps for Reactor Cooling. The project involved the use of theoretical, computational and experimental tools for multi-physics analysis and design (which includes Electromagnetism coupled with Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Stress Analysis and Industrial Engineering). This project is a collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Marshall Space Flight Center.   Idaho State University Department of Physics & Idaho Accelerator Center   Ph.D.  Research Assista
