Malek Abunaemeh

Malek Abunaemeh is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, St. John's University. His research focuses on advanced materials science and nuclear engineering, particularly ion irradiation effects on polymeric carbon and semiconductor materials. He has contributed to studies on TRISO fuel coatings, high-temperature material behavior, and space observation instrumentation.

His research interests include materials for nuclear applications, structural modifications under ion irradiation, and electronic techniques for astrophysical observations. Key projects involve analyzing mechanical and thermal properties of glassy polymeric carbon (GPC) and nanoceramic silicon carbide for reactor safety and space instrumentation.

Recent work (2023-2024) explores CCD technologies for astrometric fidelity and mechanical properties of irradiated materials. Earlier studies (2009-2012) addressed diffusion phenomena in ion-irradiated materials and nanoceramic characterization. His publications reflect a consistent focus on bridging materials science with nuclear and aerospace engineering applications.
