 Work with top experts  World-class experimental facilities  High-performance computing facilities  International travel  Pleasant work environment

 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

 Visit senators and representatives on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC  Make a difference by influencing energy policy

 People need energy!  Generate the electricity that people are using right now › Make positive impact on the community  Troubleshoot on teams › Working with others  Technically fun and challenging  Go into the power plant

 Because I get to: › Work with different people… › Travel… › Learn about technology… › Develop and learn new skills… › Grow as a person and as a professional… › Make good money ($$$).

 Research at a National Lab  Nuclear Power Generation  Medical  Government/NAVY/ Military  Aerospace  Universities  Etc.
