About Jenna Hirales
With extensive experience across materials science, manufacturing process improvement, and supply chain management, my focus as Co-founder and COO at AmRADTech is on designing and deploying advanced defense technologies.

Over 7.5 years as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of California San Diego, I have contributed to projects such as TRISO fuel graphite consolidation and actinide separation while developing expertise in technical writing and material characterization techniques. With a passion for innovation and a commitment to integrity, I am dedicated to advancing solutions that meet the highest standards in security and fidelity.
