Swapnil Morankar

Swapnil Morankar's research focuses on using X-ray computed tomography (a 3D imaging technique similar to a medical CT scan, but for materials) to examine nuclear fuels and reactor materials, especially TRISO fuel particles (a type of small, coated nuclear fuel used in advanced reactors) that have been irradiated in test reactors. This work supports post-irradiation examination, which involves inspecting materials after they have been exposed to radiation to understand how they perform and degrade, informing the design of safer advanced nuclear reactors.

Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from occasional single papers per year before 2022 to a peak of about 9 in 2025.
