Welcome from the School Head
Welcome to the School of Nuclear Science and Engineering!
It is an exciting time to lead the School of Nuclear Science and Engineering at Oregon State University. Across the nation and around the world, nuclear science is experiencing a resurgence—driven by urgent needs for clean energy, national security, and technological resilience. At Oregon State, our program is growing in step with that momentum, expanding both its educational reach and its national impact.
We are seeing increasing student enrollment in our degree programs as nuclear technologies move from promise to deployment. Advanced reactors are being demonstrated, new companies and partnerships are forming, and demand for well prepared graduates has never been stronger. Our students, highly sought out by industry, national lab, and government partners, are entering a field that is not only technically challenging but central to some of society’s most pressing problems, and they are doing so at a moment when their expertise truly matters.
