Biography
- Casey Corbridge has previously received a B.S. in Nuclear engineering with a concentration in radiological engineering while working in the DISMAT group. He is now pursuing a M.S. in Nuclear engineering with a concentration in radiological engineering, and is currently funded by an NRC Fellowship.
- Casey’s research focuses on the effects induced in lanthanide sesquioxides (Ln2O3) due to mechanical milling done in a planetary ball mill. This involves subjecting the material to an extreme environment similar to that of a radiation environment consisting of transient high temperature and pressure regions. After the material is damaged, it’s structural modifications are subsequently characterized using experimental methods including x-ray total scattering and Raman spectroscopy. Casey is additionally studying the structural response of Ln2O3 materials while under swift heavy ion irradiation and comparing these responses to that of ball milling.
