Research Scientist
Idaho National Laboratory, United States
Dr. Boopathy Kombaiah is a senior scientist in the Nuclear Materials Performance division and the lead of Reactor Structural Materials group at the Idaho National Laboratory. He earned his Ph.D. from North Carolina State University under the guidance of Prof. KL. Murty. Following this, he furthered his research as a postdoctoral associate at Carnegie Mellon University and Oak Ridge National Lab. Dr. Kombaiah’s research is centered on understanding materials degradation under extreme stress, temperature, and radiation environments. He employs advanced mechanical and microstructural characterization techniques to uncover damage mechanisms in materials. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed journal articles and presented his work at several international conferences. He is a recipient of 2015 American Nuclear Society (ANS)- Mark Mills award, 2022 Department of Energy Office of Science Early Career award, and 2024 INL Early Career Exceptional Achievement award.
