Rizwan-uddin Department of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Roots of coarse mesh, or advanced, nodal methods can be traced to “exact finite difference schemes.” After a brief overview of exact finite difference schemes, a nodal scheme will be developed for the scalar convection-diffusion PDE . To address some of the …
Society's response to the changing climate expresses values and priorities in balancing factors like risk, development, and equity. These choices are best informed by scientific understanding. This seminar will be a dialog on the certainties and uncertainties of climate science and how they are portrayed to non-expert decision makers and the public. The event is …
Simon R. Cherry Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Radiology Positron emission tomography (PET) is a widely used medical imaging technique, and like many other tomographic imaging modalities, relies on …
Aditi Verma ASSISTANT RESEARCH SCIENTIST, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR (FALL 2022) Abstract While nuclear reactor design is recognized as an essential skill and intellectual output of academic nuclear engineering, little attention has been paid within the discipline to the structure of the reactor design process and how factors beyond physical constraints influence design outcomes. In this talk, …
Via Teams Christopher Reis is a PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley majoring in nuclear engineering. He will share on the biggest mysteries in the cutting edge of science, including the power of the sun to deal with the global energy crisis. North Valley JAMM-ECX Event - Sponsored by Physician Health & Wellness …
Jake Hecla PhD candidate in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley Abstract: The Russian invasion of Ukraine is the first war in which nuclear powerplants and waste management areas have been a major focus of military conflict. In this presentation, we will go over the nuclear infrastructure existing in Ukraine, and …

Yong Dai Laboratory for Nuclear Materials, Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland Abstract: Ferritic/martensitic (FM) and ODS steels have been extensively studied in various fission and fusion material R&D projects around the world. These steels are also candidate structural materials for high power spallation targets. Over the past two decades, a large number FM and ODS steels …
Manyalibo J. Matthews, Ph.D. Division Leader, Materials Science Division Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Abstract: The demanding and ever-evolving missions of the Department of Energy call for increased responsiveness to the mission 'pull' while staying on the cutting edge of scientific advancements and anticipating programmatic needs through a technological 'push.' In this talk I will give …
Shirmir D. Branch Chemist, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Abstract: The application of online monitoring to harsh environments, such as nuclear waste streams or molten salt reactors, presents the potential to enhance fundamental processes while significantly reducing operation cost, risk, and time. Optical spectroscopy as an online monitoring tool serves as a rapid, non- destructive method …
