...MoreDr. Russell W. Kincaid graduated from Denison University in Granville, Ohio in 1989 with majors in physics and mathematics. He received a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from North Carolina State University in 1995 with a specialization in plasma physics. From 1996-2002, he worked for UTRON, Inc. as a research scientist. The work involved finding industrial applications for pulsed plasma jets. His work included performing experimental research and development on new thermal spraying processes, high efficiency fine metal powder production devices, developing metal matrix composite production techniques, working with advanced materials, and developing methods for the environmentally benign removal of lead based paints. He has worked in academia since 2003, and is currently in his fourth year at Wilmington College. His training in nuclear engineering and his experience with fine metal powders at UTRON have led him to the issue of fine depleted uranium powders, which he has been studying for the last five years. He has spoken on this topic at forums including the Christian Peacemaker Team's "Delegation on Depleted Uranium," a rally organized by United for Peace and Justice, Wilmington College, and Denison University. He has been invited to speak on this topic at Western Michigan University this fall, and is currently investigating additional speaking opportunities.
