Zack P Tener
Postdoctoral Research Associate - Thermomagnetic Processing
Bio
I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Advanced Processing Laboratory at ORNL, researching the effects of thermomagnetic processing on materials. I utilize convection or induction heating inside a static magnetic field, up to 9 Tesla and 2000 °C. My primary project involves miniaturizing this technology to create an in-situ sample environment for neutron beamlines. My personal interests include magnetism, material property characterization, studying magnet applications towards sustainable manufacturing, environmental, energy, and critical materials challenges, tabletop roleplaying games, and badly playing musical instruments. Additionally, I have graduate level training in solid state chemistry and synthesis, crystallography, and neutron and synchrotron X-ray scattering experiments.
