Vaibhav Sinha joins Ohio State as assistant clinical professor.  Sinha has more than 10 years of university research and teaching experience and has held various positions in the energy and aeronautics industries.

Sinha received his PhD degree in nuclear engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology and a MS degree in nuclear engineering with specialization in nuclear power and radioisotope technologies from the Aachen University of Applied Sciences, Germany.  Prior to joining Ohio State, he was a guest researcher at Missouri University of Science and Technology and assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University. 

Sinha has contributed to research projects at the Missouri University of Science and Technology/ Missouri Science and Technology Nuclear Reactor in the areas of design and development of a novel neutron and x-ray combined computed tomography system (NXCT), installation and shielding design of neutron generator facility, and infrastructure upgrade of radiation measurements and spectroscopy laboratory. He also participated in a research project at the Idaho Accelerator Center for production of radioisotope Cu-67 by photon activation techniques using a linear electron accelerator.  Sinha was also involved in research at the Research Center Juelich, Germany for design and development of children calibration phantoms for assessment of radiation dose in infants and small children using mobile and whole body counters.

His research and teaching interests include radiation detection and instrumentation, radiation imaging, radiation dosimetry, reactor physics and techniques, accelerator applications and thermal hydraulics.
