Sarah
Sarah is from Chicago, Illinois, where she did her bachelors in mechanical engineering and her masters in materials science and engineering. She is a nuclear fuels research engineer at the Idaho National Lab and went back to school for her PhD to work more in future clean energy solutions.
Dissertation: “Materials and Manufacturing Study of Uranium Mononitride/Zirconium Carbide Cercer Composites for Use in Space Nuclear Propulsion“
Justin
Justin graduated from North Carolina State University with a BS in MSE in 2014. Following a short stint in industry, he returned to NC State for graduate school in 2017 before being extradited to Florida in 2019. Justin’s academic interests include liquid metal embrittlement, corrosion, dungeoneering, stress corrosion cracking, extractive metallurgy, physical metallurgy, necromancy, chemical metallurgy, applied stencillurgy, and most other words ending in ‘-urgy’. Not a lich.
