About Olivia S.
Aspiring nuclear fusion engineer and current MIT nuclear science & engineering and physics student, driven by a passion for clean energy and a belief in science as a force for social good. My academic and professional journey reflects interdisciplinary research spanning molecular biology and optics physics (UCSC) to high-energy density science based fusion (MIT and SLAC), all with the goal of advancing fusion energy solutions.Equity in STEM is just as central to my personal and professional mission. I lead initiatives that broaden access to science and entrepreneurship—mentoring underrepresented students through youth outreach in STEM, climate, and athletics; developing inclusivity-focused programming in biotech and rowing. Whether I’m building scholarships for aspiring biotech leaders or creating space for new voices in traditionally exclusive spaces, I care deeply about who gets to participate in science—and how.Curiosity, collaboration, and community guide everything I do.
Experience
Undergraduate Researcher
Mit Department Of Nuclear Science And Engineering
Dec 2024 — Present · Cambridge, MA, US
Currently, developing novel additive manufacturing techniques to produce intricate, high-performance components for nuclear reactor systems.Spring 2025: Developed a ML model to optimize the analysis of MRS data from fusion experiments at the OMEGA Laser Facility. Compiling past experimental data into a database used to train ML model, reducing turnaround time and improving experimental efficiency.January, 2025: Developed diagnostics to retrieve data from faulty CR-39 for OMEGA experiments, utilizing techniques like proton radiography, alpha particles, track etching, and scanning. Designed and fabricated a custom holder for MRS-shaped CR-39 detector used in particle accelerators
