He earned his master’s degree in Nuclear Engineering from AFIT in 2011 and his doctorate in Nuclear Engineering from the University of California, Berkley in 2017. His research interests include optimization and design of custom neutron spectra, neutron spectroscopy, post-detonation forensics, and weapons effects. Captain Bevins plans to use the ETC support to continue to develop novel methods of producing synthetic nuclear weapons debris and improving the ability to design custom neutron energy spectra.
