 Bobby Powell (2011): "I am a Field Engineer at the Bechtel-Bettis Atomic Power Lab in West Mifflin, Pa. The Field Engineering program leads to assignments at a variety of shipyards. We provide oversight to all aspects of submarine and aircraft carrier construction and maintenance. The program begins with a rigorous and comprehensive qualification program at Bettis involving nuclear reactor design and operation."
Robert Hardin (Ph.D., Physics, WVU): "Thank you for the opportunity to present a colloquium to the Wesleyan physics students this spring. I have just finished up my Ph.D. My research adviser chose me to work in his plasma physics lab because of my laser background from Wesleyan. I have accepted a position at Oak Ridge National Lab."

Jon Morang works in nuclear safety at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in New Hampshire.
James Abraham (M.S. in Health Physics, Colorado State University). James is a radiation safety officer at Colorado State University.
Tom Damiani (PhD, Mechanical Engineering, WVU) works at the Bechtel-Bettis Atomic Power Lab near Pittsburgh. Dr. Damiani designs nuclear propulsion systems for submarines and aircraft carriers. On February 5, 2013, he returned to Wesleyan to give a presentation to our students about his work.
