He is also the ANS Student Section Committee’s website sub-chair. In his free time, he enjoys bouldering, playing board games, video games, and D&D with his friends.
Riley is a junior in NPRE with a concentration in Plasma and Fusion. He works at the Center for Plasma Material Interactions, where he is involved in research with liquid lithium plasma-facing components. He also works virtually with Oak Ridge National Laboratory on the Material Plasma Exposure Experiment. In his free time, Riley enjoys hanging out with friends, listening to The Weeknd, playing violin, and climbing things.
Harrison is a junior in NPRE who is seeking to pursue the Plasma and Fusion Sciences track. With Professor Mohan Sankaran from the SPEC Lab, Harrison conducts research on the reduction of iron oxides using an atmospheric-pressure microwave plasma device. Outside of school, Harrison enjoys skateboarding, playing the bass clarinet, and thrifting!
Rhys is a sophomore in the Power concentration of NPRE. He is starting research on advanced reactors and fuel cycles under Madicken Munk this year. Outside of school, Rhys enjoys playing rugby, gardening, and climbing rocks and trees.
