Concurrent Academic

Dr. Deng’s research interests are in the areas of nuclear fuels and materials, particularly for HTGR.

Areas of Research Interests/ Research Projects

Preparation of nuclear fuel microspheres and related ceramic materials

Solution-based and combined with high temperature processing and technologies for the preparation of UO2 and other non-oxide ceramic microspheres are under study.

• The chemistry involved in the solution and at high temperature for the preparation of the ceramic microspheres. The microstructure and crystalline structure are also of interests.

• High temperature densification technologies for and mechanism in non-oxide ceramic microspheres.

Honors And Awards

Research and application of the key technologies for large-scale production of pebble fuels for HTRG, The Chinese Society of Nuclear Energy Industry.
