Daniel Best

Short Bio:

Daniel Best earned a Master of Science from Texas A&M University in Nuclear Engineering with a specialization in Nuclear Nonproliferation in August 2023. He worked with Dr. Craig Marianno on a research project focused on improving the Mobile Radiological Search System’s (MRSS) neutron background response by exploiting detectable muons in NaI detectors to estimate the neutron background count rate. Prior to coming to Texas A&M, Best received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from McNeese State University in 2021. After graduation, he took a position under Safety Basis at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
