Strengthening Research Collaboration in Nuclear Materials Science: Visit of Renowned Radiation Materials Scientist, Dr. Roger E. Stoller, to the Department of Nuclear Engineering
The Department of Nuclear Engineering was honored to host Dr. Roger E. Stoller, a world-renowned expert in radiation effects on materials, on 9th May 2026. Dr. Stoller, formerly a Distinguished Research Staff Member at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), USA, brings decades of seminal contributions to the fields of fusion reactor materials, primary radiation damage formation, and microstructural evolution of irradiated structural materials.
The discussions focused on recent advances in nuclear materials research, radiation damage in materials, and opportunities for academic and research collaboration. Drawing upon his extensive experience in fusion reactor materials programs and his distinguished contributions to the field, including his editorial role with the Journal of Nuclear Materials, Dr. Stoller shared valuable insights that will help strengthen the department’s growing research initiatives in nuclear engineering and materials science.
During his visit, Dr. Stoller engaged in an enriching academic dialogue with Prof. Dr. Mohammed Arshad Momen of the Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Dhaka, and Prof. Daniel W. Lund, Pro Vice Chancellor of Independent University, Bangladesh. Faculty members from the Department of Nuclear Engineering were also present.
As a further gesture of collaboration, Dr. Stoller expressed his interest in delivering a seminar for faculty members and students of the department during his next visit to Dhaka in November. The proposed seminar will focus on research topics related to radiation damage in materials and is expected to provide an excellent opportunity for academic exchange and learning.
