James Love is pursuing graduate studies with the Institute for Space and Nuclear Power Studies. His engineering career spans three decades with a foundation in automation and control systems applied across industry, aerospace, defense, and NNSA/DOE deterrence programs. That same systems integration background informs his current research focus - digital control systems for space and terrestrial nuclear power/research applications. He is a co-inventor on two U.S. patents in Direct Metal Deposition.
