Matthew Van Zile studies how radiation affects materials and sensors used in advanced nuclear fission reactors, particularly optical components (like glass and sapphire) and semiconductor-based pressure/temperature sensors. This work supports the development of instrumentation that can survive and function accurately inside the harsh radiation environments of next-generation nuclear reactors.
