Peter Sprunger is currently an intern with the CSTSP focusing on nuclear weapons and nonproliferation. One of the issues he is exploring the issue of seismic decoupling in underground explosions.
He is currently finishing a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics at Oregon State University. His doctoral work focuses on neutrons emitted in conjunction with fission created by the bombardment of Uranium-238 with deuterons.
Prior to graduate school he spent one year with the nuclear chemistry group at Indiana University where he was the primary designer of the detector system FIRST.
He received a Bachelor's with honors from Goshen College with a major in physics and a minor in mathematics. His Honors thesis explored the drag force from stationary and windmilling propellers.
