A researcher who coauthored modeling of irradiation-driven dimensional changes in zirconium alloys. Molecular dynamics supplied point defect parameters for a growth model that was compared with specimens of controlled microstructure. Separating grain size, grain shape and dislocation density helped identify which structural features could reduce unwanted dimensional changes in nuclear materials.[ref]
