Senior Engineering Scientist Soha Aslam recently presented at Dell Medical School's REAL Health AI Symposium.
The Nuclear Engineering Teaching Laboratory (NETL) recently hosted the National Organization of Test, Research and Training Reactors (TRTR) Annual Conference, welcoming more than 150 nuclear professionals, researchers and students from across the country. The conference featured workshops, facility tours, networking opportunities, and nearly 60 papers and presentations spanning the full spectrum of research and test reactor operations, science and policy.
The board will meet annually to advise on future priorities and provide an outside perspective on workforce needs, industry trends, research opportunities and educational priorities in the growing nuclear sector.
Through hands-on research reactor training and classroom learning, students gained practical skills, real-world insights and professional perspectives that will benefit their future careers in the nuclear industry.
The presentations focused on advances in simulation, modeling and machine learning.
Open to engineering, physics and chemistry majors, the new Nuclear Engineering Minor explores topics including nuclear reactors, radiation protection, nuclear medicine, nuclear power systems and nuclear security.
The presentations and on-site demonstrations illustrated the ability to use augmented reality headsets to provide operators intuitive, hands-free interactions with autonomous platforms.
Held during UT Energy Week, the event centered on the University’s nuclear engineering research and the future of nuclear energy in Texas.
Associate Professor Kevin Clarno will lead a team of eight UT Austin researchers as part of a national effort using AI and digital twins to accelerate nuclear energy development.
Former Argonne nuclear and radiochemical engineer Shayan Shahbazi is opening new research pathways for students interested in nuclear chemical engineering.
