Abdallah Reza BSc MSc DPhil (Oxon)

Abdallah completed his DPhil in the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, associated with Kellogg College. The focus of his DPhil was on developing the laser-induced transient gratings method for the investigation of irradiation-induced thermal transport changes in fusion-relevant materials.

Prior to his DPhil, he obtained a master's in Nuclear Engineering from Imperial College London, and a bachelor's in Physics from the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka.
