    Monica Pham

    Thermal Hydraulics Engineering Student at MIT

    Monica Pham is a Master of Science student in Nuclear Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She previously pursued her undergraduate degree in Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT, where she was actively involved in research and outreach activities.12

    During her time at MIT, Monica conducted research at the Collaboration for Science and Technology with Accelerators and Radiation (CSTAR), working on a project related to diagnosing materials used in tokamaks for nuclear fusion reactors.1 She worked under the supervision of Assistant Professor Zachary Hartwig, contributing to the development of diagnostic techniques for assessing the impacts of plasma on tokamak components.2

    Outside of her academic pursuits, Monica has been passionate about empowering young women in science and engineering. As the festival chair for the MIT chapter of the Society of Women Engineers, she organized workshops and activities to engage girls in STEM fields.2 Her outreach efforts included participating in events such as the Cambridge Science Festival and the USA Science and Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C.1

    Monica's interest in nuclear engineering began when she was 16 years old, inspired by a high school chemistry teacher's discussion about atomic power.1 This early inspiration led her to pursue a career in nuclear engineering, combining her interests in energy and engineering.2
