Caroline Cochran cares deeply about the environment and health, which underlies her dedication to making advanced nuclear energy a reality.

She has worked with energy technologies that span natural gas, oil, nuclear, and solar vehicles. Caroline has experience working for defense contractors and in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and she was a program manager at the University of Oklahoma where she was established a technology business development program.
