Rui Matsubara

I am a Ph.D. Student in Energy Science and Engineering through the University of Tennessee – Oak Ridge Innovation Institute (UT-ORII). I joined the Wirth Group in Fall 2026 and am currently working with Dr. Dasgupta. I previously graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and a minor in Nuclear Engineering. My research interests lie in predicting deuterium, tritium, and helium retention in tungsten from computational and experimental approaches.
