Biography

Dr. Kenneth C. (Ken) Littrell is part of the Chemistry and Engineering Materials division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and has been the lead instrument scientist for the General Purpose SANS instrument at the ORNL’s High Flux Isotope Reactor since joining ORNL in 2006. He has over 70 peer-reviewed publications in a variety of subjects in neutron and x-ray scattering characterization of materials and neutron scattering optics and instrumentation. He received his Doctorate in Physics from the University of Missouri Columbia in 1997 and from 1997 until 2006 worked at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source at Argonne National Laboratory doing small-angle neutron scattering and bench top and synchrotron small-angle x-ray scattering and neutron optics and instrumentation development. His present interests include structural characterization of engineering materials such as advanced alloys and ceramics and nanocomposites, characterization of catalytic and adsorbent porous materials, structural geophysics, and solution structure of complex-fluid systems for solvent extraction, nanoparticle synthesis, and drug delivery.
