Naresh C. Osti

Neutron Scattering Scientist

Naresh C. Osti received his MS in Physical Chemistry from Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal, and his PhD in Chemistry from Clemson University, Clemson, SC, USA, in 2014. He joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as a postdoctoral researcher, working under the supervision of Dr. Eugene Mamontov until 2017. He is currently an R&D Staff/Beamline Scientist at the Backscattering Silicon Spectrometer (BASIS) within the Neutron Scattering Division at ORNL. His research focuses on exploring the structure and dynamics of energy-related materials (both hard and soft) to understand their structure-property relationships for real-world applications, especially in the areas of nano-confined fluids, polymers, and polymer nanocomposites.
