Manit Shah:
Meet Dr. Manit Shah, a Verification Technologies Engineer in the #Nuclear #Nonproliferation Division of NSSD. His extensive background spans #nuclearsafety, #nuclearsecurity, and #nuclearsafeguards, with a particular focus on #advancedreactors. He recently contributed to advanced reactor analysis and licensing in Canada.
Although Manit joined ORNL in 2023, his history with the lab goes back further. After attending a student workshop at ORNL in 2012, Manit was impressed with the people, infrastructure, and R&D efforts in the #nonproliferation space and supported the lab as a subcontractor previously. These experiences led him to apply for a position within NSSD when the opportunity arose some 10 years later.
Enthusiastic about joining ORNL, Manit says, “I am eager to leverage my expertise in reactor safety, security, and safeguards to support the peaceful deployment of advanced reactors effectively and efficiently."
Welcome to NSSD, Dr. Manit Shah! ⚛️
Portia “Posh” Anyamba:
Meet Portia “Posh” Anyamba, a Program Management Operations Specialist in the National Security Program Office. She is working on the business systems and processes side of NSSD, focusing on work capture processes and business analytics.
Posh's interest in #nationalsecurity sciences grew from her long #military career, and in her time so far at ORNL, she has appreciated how working in NSSD has broadened her understanding of the interconnection between science and security.
A talented problem-solver with a passion for aiding the community around her, Posh brings enthusiasm to her work at ORNL every day. She looks forward to meeting with colleagues, sponsors, and visitors to assess how ORNL could help them achieve their missions and goals. "Having a great career while making positive impact in our society has always been top on my wish list," she said.
Welcome to NSSD, Posh Anyamba! ⚛️
