Hi,
I am a professional in the space industry who has been studying the fungal growths in Chernobyl for some time. i think that the way they manage the radiation levels they experience can lead to new radiation shielding materials, or an improvement on direct light->electricity conversion processes. I am currently self-studying applied nuclear physics as a prep before i start graduate school in 2021, with a focus on nanoscale engineering

I think fungi that grow in highly irradiated environments that would kill any other living creature are pretty cool

Welcome aboard PF, MagneticNeutron,

I'm sure that I'm not the only one here who would be interested to read a post on your area of research, perhaps in the Biology Forum.

:welcome:
