In 2013, he joined the Nuclear Science Laboratory at the Department of Physics of the University of Notre Dame as a Research Associate and is currently Research Assistant Professor. Dr. Manukyan's research centers on investigating the different aspects of creating nanoscale materials for applications ranging from energy storage to nuclear astrophysics. Current research topics include materials for nuclear physics and energy applications. He is also actively investigating historical materials such as ancient alloys, cellulose fibers, and pigments in medieval manuscripts. He has published over 80 research articles, invited review papers, and holds several patents in these areas. He has organized professional meetings and currently serves as an editor of the International Journal of Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis. Dr. Manukyan is a recipient of the Presidential Prize and Gold Medal of Republic of Armenia in the Field of Natural Sciences (2009), a Fulbright Scholarship Award (2010), and a Best Electron Microscopy Publication Award of Notre Dame Integrated Imaging Facility (2013).
