Dr. William E. Windes is a Distinguished Scientist at Idaho National Laboratory whose research interests are in the areas of processing, characterization, and analysis of novel material systems for both nuclear and non-nuclear applications. These include materials for use in high temperature, irradiation, and other extreme environments. He is the DOE technical lead for the DOE Advanced Reactor Technology Graphite R&D program, responsible for thermo-mechanical testing of non-irradiated and irradiated graphite and composites, development of test standards and code case development for determining material properties of nuclear graphite and composites. He holds a doctorate in material science and engineering from University of Idaho, a master’s in nuclear engineering from University of Illinois and a bachelor’s in nuclear engineering from University of California at Santa Barbara.
