Miguel Lopez is a mechanical engineer with 10 years of hands-on experience spanning nuclear propulsion research, fluid systems for naval platforms, and materials engineering. A first-generation graduate with both BS and MS from the University of Rhode Island and a minor in Nuclear Engineering and Mathematics, he was a NASA Graduate Fellow investigating centrifugal fuel elements for high-performance nuclear thermal propulsion. He pairs strong analytical and simulation skills with practical lab and field experience—ranging from reactor operations to site inspection and quality assurance—which enables him to bridge research insights and deployable engineering solutions. Adaptable and service-minded, he has taught and mentored students while also safeguarding classified programs, demonstrating communication and responsibility under pressure. Now at Creare, he continues to apply rigorous analysis and cross-disciplinary problem solving to advanced engineering challenges.
