Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFahima Islam is a Neutronics Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with eight years of research and development experience in neutron scattering instrumentation and data analysis. She develops software-driven solutions for 3D-printed custom collimators used in high-pressure neutron experiments and is advancing super-resolution reconstruction of inelastic neutron scattering spectra from direct geometry chopper spectrometers. Her work uniquely blends practical instrumentation with advanced computational techniques to enhance measurement precision and throughput. Fahima holds a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology, along with a Master’s in Nuclear Engineering, and a Civil Engineering bachelor’s degree from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, reflecting a strong interdisciplinary foundation. Prior to her current role, she contributed as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at ORNL and as a Graduate Intern at Idaho National Laboratory. Based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, she applies a hands-on mindset to bridge experimental physics, software development, and scientific computing in neutron science.
