			<h1>Hi, I’m Nathan<br/></h1>
			<p>A Nuclear Engineering Grad student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign</p>
		</header>
		<p>Working in the <a href="https://arfc.github.io" target="_blank">Advanced Reactors and Fuel Cycles group</a>, my research focuses on developing fuel cycle transitions for advanced reactors and energy system model optimization of peaceful non-energy applications of nuclear power. In my free time, I enjoy cooking with my family, advocating for nuclear energy, painting cartoon animals, and trying to keep my plants alive.</p>
