Steiner, Adam

Adam M. Steiner (Member, IEEE) received the B.S. degree in nuclear engineering and physics from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA, in 2010, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in nuclear engineering and radiological sciences from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, in 2012 and 2016, respectively. From 2016 to 2019, he was with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, Fort Worth, TX, USA, where he developed megajoule-class pulsed power drivers for plasma sources, neutral beam accelerators, and magnetic confinement coils. He is currently a Pulsed-Power Scientist with Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM, USA. His current research interests include mitigating energy loss mechanisms on large pulsed-power facilities and developing improved pulsed-power components, including flashover-resistant composite insulators and sulfur hexafluoride-free spark gap switches.
