Mark Reed

Member of the 2011 Delegation

Mark has received his S.B. degree in Physics as well as his S.B. and S.M. degrees in Nuclear Science and Engineering from MIT, and he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. His past research includes magnetic confinement fusion and its application as a neutron source in fission-fusion hybrid systems. His current research focuses on various reactor physics and fuel cycle modeling techniques as well as siting issues for new nuclear plants in the context of seismic history.

He has performed reactor modeling at TerraPower and risk assessment for the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In his pre-nuclear life, he was an engineering project management intern for the iPhone 3G at Apple and a research assistant at the Princeton University Department of Astrophysical Sciences. In his spare time, he pursues his affinities for hiking, writing policy pieces, making random iPhone applications, and composing awkward third-person autobiographies.
