Biography

Steven is a 5th year Chemical Engineering PhD student at Georgia Tech who is advised by Dr. Martha Grover and Dr. Ronald Rousseau. His graduate research focuses on real-time spectroscopic measurements of chemical constituents in low-activity and high-level nuclear waste. In particular, Steven uses techniques from process systems engineering to produce robust and accurate process measurements. Most recently, he has been applying extensions of the Kalman filter for accurate process measurements in the face of measurement and process uncertainty. The primary application of his work is in the vitrification of waste at the Hanford and Savannah River Sites.
