Developing a framework for thermodynamic measurements of fluoride salt nuclear fuel
With a single liquid acting simultaneously as a primary coolant and a nuclear fuel, molten salt reactor development has been challenged with understanding the behavior of its complex fluoride solution under various conditions. Experimental thermodynamics can address part of this challenge by …

Understanding genetic systems through multiplexed design, synthesis, and measurement
Next-generation DNA sequencing has allowed us to extract vast quantities of functional information from genetic systems. However, natural systems represent only a fraction of all possible DNA sequences. Our understanding of how genomes function is limited by our ability to make modifications and …
