Benjamin Beeler is a computational scientist in the Computational Microstructure Science group in the Fuels Modeling and Simulation department at Idaho National Laboratory. His degrees are in nuclear engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology (B.S. 2008, M.S. 2011, Ph.D. 2013). He completed his postdoctoral appointment jointly at the University of California-Davis and the University of California-Berkeley. His professional interests are atomistic description and evolution of nuclear fuel and structural materials. He has extensive experience on interatomic potential development, particularly related to uranium and uranium-alloys. Since 2015, his primary focus within the MARMOT team is the investigation of metallic nuclear fuels utilizing density functional theory, molecular dynamics and phase-field methods.
