Kurt Dominesey was recently awarded the Rickover Fellowship in Nuclear Engineering, sponsored by the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Naval Reactors Division and Naval Nuclear Laboratory. This fellowship is designed to address the DOE’s need for skilled personnel to advance the scientific and engineering technology underpinning naval nuclear propulsion and supports Kurt’s doctoral studies by providing 36 months of funding. This program also affords Kurt the opportunity to conduct research at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory over the course of two summer practicums. Following the completion of his degree, Kurt intends to continue his research in nuclear methods development as an employee of the Knolls Laboratory.
