Samuel Brinton

Member of the 2011 Delegation

Samuel just recently graduated from Kansas State University with a B.S. in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering and a B.A. in Vocal Music Performance and a minor in Chinese Language. He is beginning a double M.S. program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Nuclear Engineering and the Technology and Policy Program. His research interests are concentrated on nuclear fuel cycle system analysis with subtopics of interest including fuel cycle economics and Asian nuclear fuel cycle development.

Samuel has had internships at the Argonne National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, and Dow Chemical Company in various projects relating to nuclear engineering and systems analysis. He is a strong activist in a variety of civil rights and nonproliferation issues and finds that only with a constant interaction with our legislative representatives can we hope to make true and lasting impacts on policy. In his spare time Samuel enjoys running, singing opera, and cheering for the K-State Wildcats.
