	ISDE Research Engineer
	Research Assistant Professor
	Google Scholar Profile
Dr. Brian Sierawski received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (12/11) from Vanderbilt University, M.S.E. in Computer Science and Engineering (5/04), and his B.S.E. in Computer Engineering (5/02) from the University of Michigan. Dr. Sierawski is a Research Assistant Professor with Vanderbilt University’s Institute for Space and Defense Electronics (ISDE), where he works in the area of radiation effects modeling and test. Dr. Sierawski joined ISDE in 2005 and focuses on the proper operation of microelectronics in space environments. He developed and administers the CREME website for public access to space radiation environment models and error rate predictions, and maintains the MRED code for Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations. Additionally, he leads the development, assembly, and operation of small-satellite radiation effects experiments.
