Mareena Robinson is a Graduate Fellow at the NA-19 Office of Major Modernization Programs, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) at the Department of Energy. She is a recent Ph.D. graduate of MIT in Nuclear Science and Engineering. The title of her dissertation is "Nuclear Warhead Monitoring: A Study of Photon Emissions from Fission Neutron Interactions with High Explosives as a tool in Arms Control Verification." At NNSA, Mareena provides programmatic support to both the NA-19 Front Office and the Uranium Program. As a fellow, she is able to gain a deeper understanding of how the nuclear enterprise functions as well as understand the perspectives of government decision makers tasked with overseeing our arsenal. While at MIT, Mareena worked at the Laboratory Nuclear Security and Policy as a Research Assistant where she investigated the use of photon emissions from fission neutron interactions with high explosives as a warhead monitoring tool in arms control verification.
