About Dr. Ban
My research covers topics in thermal-fluid sciences, materials properties, sensors and measurement, and energy sciences. My recent focus has been to understand the relationship between material microstructural change and its thermal performance, particularly experimental and computational material thermophysical properties and measurement technique development. The research has applications in nuclear fuels and materials, manufacturing, micro-scale measurements, and development of hot-cell and/or in-pile sensors and instrumentations.
