Oh. You’re actually reading this? Hi! My name’s Bryan, a nuclear fusion energy enthusiast who turned that interest into a graduate degree at the Australian National University. My primary research interests are characterising the responses of existing and potential candidate materials for the plasma-facing components in future fusion reactor. This would help contribute to the basic science, helping to improve prediction models of the plasma-material interactions that occur in fusion reactors to better assess component lifetime. The other end goal of this research would be to help in the development and selection of novel materials that are more resilient than tungsten to the harsh conditions of the reactor to minimise interruption to reactor operation.
At SNRSI, I have been assigned two tasks. The first is to assist in the assessment of nuclear fusion technologies and safety protocols for its possible deployment in Singapore. The other is to explore the manufacturing process of TRISO fuel particle blanks for HTGR reactors in hopes to achieve supply-chain independence should Singapore decide on a HTGR fission reactor. For any questions or collaborations, do drop me an email at bryanteo@nus.edu.sg
