Jeffrey Binder has been appointed associate laboratory director for Nuclear Science and Engineering at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a press release said.

It said Binder has led the Nuclear Science and Engineering Directorate on an interim basis since November 2011.

In 2003, Binder came to ORNL after 13 years at Argonne National Laboratory. At ORNL, he has been primarily interested in the development of nuclear technology for the production of energy, the production of isotopes, and as a general scientific tool, the press release said.

It said Binder is well known and highly regarded within the domestic and international nuclear communities.

He has presided over the renewal of ORNL’s isotope program, and in 2011, Binder led the formation of a new research division at ORNL‚ the Fuel Cycle and Isotopes Division, the press release said. Binder served as its director before stepping in as associate laboratory director for NSED.

Binder has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nuclear engineering as well as a doctorate. He also has a master’s degree in business administration, the release said.

It said Binder has authored and co-authored more than 100 technical articles, reports, and book chapters. He has been recognized for several awards, including ORNL’s R&D Director of the Year and Secretary of Energy’s Significant Achievement Award, both in 2011.
