Visiting Assistant Professor
Bio
Nnaemeka Nnamani is a Nuclear Physicist. He is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Rochester Institute of Technology where he tutors undergraduate classes in mathematics. Before joining the faculty of RIT he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California Berkeley. He also served as a neutronics consultant to Commonwealth Fusion System, Cambridge Massachusetts on the SPARC tokamak fusion reactor where he investigated the effect of Doppler broadening of neutron cross sections on the energy deposited on the high temperature superconductor (HTS). He employs computational and experimental techniques in the area of nuclear data validation via integral experiments. His current research interest is in the area of the application of Machine Learning in getting insight into nuclear reactions and relationships among the nucleus of various atoms.
