Janelle P. Wharry's research focuses on how nuclear materials—especially steels and other metal alloys used in reactors—behave and degrade under radiation exposure and mechanical stress. Her work combines microscopy and nanoscale mechanical testing to understand irradiation damage, welding effects, and phase changes in materials, aiming to improve the safety and durability of nuclear reactor components. This work spans fundamental materials science and applied nuclear engineering, often in collaboration with national laboratories.
