Yerik Bazarbayev successfully defended his M.S. thesis in the School of Nuclear Engineering. His thesis is entitled, “Effect of surface treatments on radiation tolerance of ATI 718+ alloy”. This work studied the role of laser shock peening (LSP) and ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) on the irradiation-induced dislocation loop evolution in a high temperature Ni-base alloy.
Thank you to Drs. Gennady Miloshevsky and Robert Bean for their service on Yerik’s committee. Congratulations, Yerik!
