Bio

Bradley Smith is majoring in Chemical Engineering with an emphasis in nuclear power. His academic interests center on energy systems and their role in advancing technology, infrastructure, and public policy.

Before joining the Herbert Institute, Bradley worked as a mechanical engineering intern on a project involving the design of machinery used to mass-produce syringe tips. He has also led research on low-cost water filtration systems and coached individuals in endurance and strength training, developing both technical expertise and leadership experience.

Bradley joined the Herbert Institute to strengthen his skills in research and analytical writing while contributing to meaningful, solution-oriented policy work. He is particularly motivated by the challenge of developing clear, practical answers to complex public issues.

After graduation, Bradley plans to work in the nuclear energy sector before pursuing an MBA. His long-term goal is to establish a firm that develops advanced energy solutions to support the growing demands of AI infrastructure.
