In 2018, Dr. Dominik Fritz earned his B.S. in Nuclear Engineering from RPI. From there, he entered into the Ph.D. program at RPI, where he worked to design and commission a cold neutron moderator system and performed various thermal/sub-thermal total neutron cross section measurements of moderating materials. Dr. Fritz defended his Ph.D. in August of 2022, beginning his career as a Senior Nuclear Engineer at NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes. He returned to RPI as a faculty member in Fall 2024. Dr. Fritz's research focuses on the Gaerttner LINAC facility, a high-power, 60 MeV electron linear accelerator. Key research areas:Nuclear DataThermal Neutron ScatteringHigh Energy Photon InteractionsRadioisotope Production for Medical and Industrial ApplicationsHigh Heat-Flux Target DesignPotential students can expect involvement in:Design and commissioning of equipment for radiation environmentsDesign and execution of experimentsMultiphysics radiation transport modeling and method developmentValidation of nuclear dataStudent positions are currently available.
