Anil K Prinja

Professor Prinja has over 25 years of experience in teaching and research at UNM and UCLA, covering theory and computational methods applied to nuclear energy, radiation interaction with matter, and nuclear fusion. He has an Affiliate appointment at Los Alamos National Laboratory and has strong collaborative ties with Sandia National Laboratories as well with a host of national and international universities. Professor Prinja is very active in the American Nuclear Society, having served as Chair of the Mathematics and Computations Division, and was elected Fellow of the American Nuclear Society in 2003. He is the 2013-14 Chair of the Nuclear Engineering Department Heads Organization.
