Brandon Miller's work focuses on nuclear fuel materials, particularly how uranium-molybdenum (U-Mo) and uranium-plutonium-zirconium (U-Pu-Zr) fuels change structurally and chemically when exposed to radiation in nuclear reactors. This involves using advanced microscopy and imaging techniques to study porosity, swelling, gas bubble formation, and interactions between fuel and cladding materials at high burnup (a measure of how much energy has been extracted from nuclear fuel). One unrelated dataset publication on black walnut syrup flavor also appears in the record.
