On March 6th, 2023, Peter defended his thesis "Enhancing Monte Carlo Modeling Workflows with a Metamodel-Driven Approach for Nuclear Reactor Analysis". 

Dr. Ji, Peter, and Qiyun attend the 2022 ANS Winter Meeting in Phoenix Arizona! On Tuesday, Qiyun presented his paper "An Equation-Free Based Coupling Approach for Multiscale Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer Analysis". Then on Wednesday, Peter presented "Monte Carlo Modeling Unification via a Metamodel-Driven Approach".

Congratulations to Camden Blake and Katelyn Cook who are now the newest Senior Reactor Operators (SROs) at RPI's Reactor Critical Facility! 

Peter Kowal has been awarded a Second Place prize in the Innovations in Nuclear Technology R&D Awards sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Fuel and Supply Chain. Kowal's award is in the Open Competition in the category of Nuclear Science.
