NSSPI students have unique opportunities for research, education and professional development. NSSPI students participate in foreign field experiences, present their research results in national and international forums, and have premier internship opportunities at national laboratories.
NSSPI faculty and students established at Texas A&M the first student chapter of the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management (INMM). Students working on NSSPI-sponsored projects also are members of both the Student INMM chapter and the International INMM chapter. As members of the organization, our students have opportunities to present research projects, publish articles and immerse themselves in the professional nuclear nonproliferation culture supported by laboratories and governments around the world. See a directory of our NSSPI graduates.
Degrees Earned by NSSPI Students* by Year
*NSSPI students are students who were advised by NSSPI faculty members. NSSPI has supported students in many other research groups and departments, as is partly reflected in the list of theses and dissertations.

NSSPI Conducts Domestic Nuclear Facilities Experience in New Mexico and Texas - In April, seven graduate students and two faculty and staff members from the Center for Nuclear Security Science and Policy Initiatives (NSSPI) participated in the 2026 Domestic Nuclear Facilities Experience (DNFE), a five-day trip to nuclear facilities in New Mexico and Texas. The experience provided Texas A&M students with a rare opportunity to observe how […]
NSSPI Student Supports Nuclear Security Training While Advancing Research to Deter Poaching - When Center for Nuclear Security Science and Policy Initiatives (NSSPI) graduate student Jordan Hillis Clark began her work on the Rhisotope Project, an effort to deter rhinoceros poaching using radiation detection techniques, she did not anticipate the level of international attention it would receive. The project was eventually highlighted by the International Atomic Energy Agency […]
NSSPI Student Uses Simulations to Improve Mobile NRTA System Performance - Mobile neutron resonance transmission analysis (NRTA) systems offer the promise of portable, on-site identification of special nuclear material, but their performance is often hindered by background signals that obscure true neutron time-of-flight (TOF) information. Center for Nuclear Security Science and Policy Initiatives (NSSPI) student Seungwoo Son’s master’s research investigated ways to address this challenge by […]
