David Sprouster

Dr. Sprouster is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on characterizing and controlling matter over multiple length- and time-scales. Professor Sprouster is actively developing and engineering next generation energy materials that can withstand the extreme environments common to advanced fission and fusion reactor technologies. His group employs multi-modal synchrotron- and neutron-based characterization methods to support applied and fundamental research programs. Professor Sprouster received his Ph.D. in Physics from The Australian National University, and prior to joining Stony Brook University as a faculty member was a Senior Scientist/Assistant Research Professor at Stony Brook University with a joint appointment in the Nuclear Reactor Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
