Student Success Stories

This week’s student highlight features Scott Richards, a Ph.D student at UT specializing in nuclear engineering, who received a special mentioning from the Oak Ridge National Library website. Scott was involved in a 10 week intensive Nuclear Engineering Science Laboratory Synthesis (NESLS) program, especially designed to propel forth the careers of young professionals aspiring to break into the field of nuclear engineering. Here’s a short excerpt from the article:

“Richards’ experience in the NESLS program not only afforded him the unique opportunity to research alongside some of the nation’s best and brightest scientists, like his mentor Dr. Kaushik Banerjee, but it also prepared him for his next leap in nuclear engineering—gaining his Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee.”
