The College of Engineering recognized faculty, lecturers, and other staff for outstanding dedication to teaching students in a Purdue Exponent ad on January 13, 2025. Among those recognized were Nuclear Engineering professors Dr. Stylianos Chatzidakis and Dr. Yunlin Xu.

A new Purdue University-led study prepared for the Indiana Office of Energy Development (IOED) explores the feasibility and potential impact of implementing small modular reactors (SMRs) in the state. It also outlines opportunities for Indiana to address key challenges with the deployment of this technology both within the state and nationwide.

Hany Abdel-Khalik, professor in the School of Nuclear Engineering, is co-organizing the Joint IAEA-ICTP Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Advancing Nuclear Engineering Technology: from Theory to Practice to be held March 10-14, 2025 in Trieste, Italy.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec 17, 2024— In a landmark initiative to explore advanced energy solutions, Purdue University's School of Nuclear Engineering has submitted an in-depth report on Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology to the Indiana Office of Energy Development (IOED).

Alicja Stoppel, a senior at the Purdue University School of Nuclear Engineering, has been selected to participate in the 2024 cohort of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Global Forum Rising Stars Workshop in Nuclear Education, Science, Technology, and Policy.

Kiernan McCullough (BSNE '10) recognized by Purdue Engineering as a young alumnus who has rocketed through the ranks and left his mark by age 38.

Purdue Engineering invites applications for a tenured/tenure track position at all ranks (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor). The College of Engineering (COE) at Purdue University recently launched the Purdue Engineering Initiative on Energy Transition (LEAPS) to link, leverage, and align Purdue's extensive learning, discovery, and engagement assets, accelerating the global transition to sustainable, affordable, and reliable energy.

The exploration of artificial intelligence and machine learning has become one of the many innovative strategies contributing to the advancement of cybersecurity and safety in the nuclear industry.

Using the Purdue Reactor Number One (PUR-1) as an example, U.S. NRC educates others on why some reactors glow blue.

Researchers have improved upon nuclear reactor core designs for Generation IV reactors, making them operate more safely in crisis and more efficiently overall. The design can be built using 3D printing, making it more economically viable than traditional designs.
