Bio

Andrew J. White is the systems engineering and configuration manager for US ITER. In this role, he leads the team overseeing US ITER’s systems engineering and configuration management programs, including collaborations with partner laboratories, requirements management, procurement arrangement change control, configuration baseline, documentation control, and training. He also serves as the central point of contact for coordination of changes (requirements, scope, cost and schedule) to agreements between US ITER and the ITER Organization.

Previously, Andrew served as technical project manager of the Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) Project at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, leading a team that developed and demonstrated alternate centrifuge-based uranium enrichment technology for long-term needs of the National Nuclear Security Administration. He previously had served as group leader of Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Prototype Manufacturing Group in the Enrichment Science and Technology Division, performing research, development, and demonstration of manufacturing and assembly approaches by applying novel fabrication tools and techniques. His enrichment technology experience began in 2009 when he joined the U.S. Enrichment Corporation as a carbon fiber composites subject matter expert and then accepted assignments of increasing responsibility.

Andrew began his career in industry, first as a materials and processes engineer at Raytheon Systems Company, in Waco, Texas, then as a lead engineer position with AAR Composites in Clearwater, Florida, and next at PerkinElmer Fluid Sciences in Daytona Beach, Florida. In these roles, he led aerospace research and development that included commercial aircraft, the International Space Station, and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Andrew earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in aerospace engineering at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
