Joseph Graham

Dr. Joseph Graham is an Associate Professor and Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T). He also serves as the Director of the Missouri S&T Reactor (MSTR) facility.

• Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin (2013)
• Postdoctoral work at Ion Beam Materials Laboratory, University of Tennessee, Knoxville (2013-2015)

His research focuses on radiation effects in materials, particularly:

• Atomic and electronic structure dynamics under neutron, charged particle, and gamma/X-ray irradiation
• Radiation-induced disordering in ceramics and insulating systems
• Applications in nuclear fuel performance, spacecraft sensors, and radiation-hardened electronics

He combines advanced experimental techniques with computational modeling in his research.
