addition, he is the leader for the Radiation Transport group with the NASA Center for Radiation Engineering and Science for Space Exploration (CRESSE). He served as a NASA Administrator's Fellow for two years at the NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC). Aghara earned a master's in environmental engineering from Vanderbilt University in 1999. He then went on to get his master's and Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the University of Texas at Austin (UT) in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Upon completion of his Ph.D., Aghara was appointed as research associate at Nuclear Engineering Teaching Laboratory in Austin, Texas and a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UT prior to taking his current position at PV. He serves on the board of the Nuclear Power Institute (NPI), a multi-agency (university/industry/utilities) consortium focused on the development of the nuclear workforce of the future. Aghara has more than 10 years of teaching experience and has played a leadership role in an effort to establish the Nuclear Engineering program at PV. He has led the efforts of procuring NASA and DOE funding for curriculum development of radiation science and engineering program at PV. He is the architect for the curriculum development of the energy engineering minor at the undergraduate level and energy engineering concentration at the graduate level within the Roy G. Perry College of Engineering. His research interests include characterization of radiation environment (neutrons and gamma) for fundamental materials research and space radiation effects in material and radiation shielding analysis for ground based system and space radiation environment. Aghara published a number of scientific research papers to the various reputed peer review journals and conferences. He has strong experimental and computational background with more than 14 years of experience. He has funded projects from NASA, DOE, NNSA, NSF, and various small businesses supporting DoD, MDA, and NASA-related research. He serves as scientific reviewer for a number of national and international journals publications on nuclear science and engineering. Dr. M. Golam Faruk, Prairie View A&M University M. Golam Faruk* earned his M.S. degree in the Nuclear Engineering program from the University of Texas, Austin in 2000. He also earned another M.S. and a Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering (ECE) from Prairie View A&M University in 2005 and 2011, respectively. His doctoral dissertation title was "Enabling Scatterometry as an In-line Measurement Technique for 32 nm BEOL Application and Variability Analysis." Faruk has extensive research experience in modeling, design, simulation, and process integration of nanoscale semiconductor devices, analog mixed signal circuit design, mixed signal testing techniques, transistor level device characterization, nuclear radiation detection and analysis, and radiation effects on semiconductor devices. Faruk authored several peer reviewed referred journals, such as IEEE Transaction on Semiconductor Manufactu...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
