Assistant ProfessorIvis Chaple Gore, PhD was selected to participate in the 2025Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Future Leaders Academy this past January. Participants develop the necessary skills and receive organizational expertise to enhance performance and evolve into a leader within nuclear medicine, the molecular imaging community, and SNMMI.Due to her participation in this prestigious program, she has also been selected to participate in the SNMMI Clinical Trials Network, a program that facilitates the use of molecular imaging radiopharmaceuticals in clinical trials.🔗https://bit.ly/3DDeAui
Assistant Professor and Zinkle Fellow Livia Casali met at ITER headquarters in France with other selected experts to define phases of the new International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor research plans.ITER is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of fusion energy. The project seeks to replicate the energy-producing process of the sun by fusing hydrogen isotopes to generate immense heat, which could eventually be harnessed for electricity production.🔗https://bit.ly/4bPn65T
Today a team from The Idaho National Laboratory joined us for a tour of the delegation's lab. The visit is to further collaboration and student internship and career opportunities under the MOU signed in 2024. Faculty members Sandra Bogetic, Vlad Sobes, and Xianfei Wen demonstrated the plans for the flexible neutron source and Khalid Hattar described the capabilities of the Tennessee Ion Beam Materials Laboratory.The participants included deputy lab director for science & technology, Dr. Todd Combs; Dr. Jess Gehin, Associate Laboratory Director for nuclear science & technology; Dr. Steve Hayes, director of the nuclear fuels and materials division; Dr. Youssef Ballout, director of reactor systems design and analysis division; and Dr. Josh Jarrell, manager of the used fuel management department.
Last week the Nuclear Engineering Department hosted 25 Ph.D. Students, from across the country, for our 2025 Graduate Recruitment Event! The students had the opportunity to learn more about research, to interact with faculty and current graduate students, and to tour various on and off-campus facilities. They mingled and networked with nearby laboratory and industry leaders from ORNL, Y-12, UCOR, Southern Nuclear, Bechtel, and others. The students toured capabilities at the Zeanah Engineering Complex, Tennessee Ion Beam Materials Laboratory, Institute for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, and the Thompson Cancer Survival Center. It was a delight getting to know these 25 prospective students and to showcase why they should choose the UTNE Department as their "home sweet home!" Go Vols!
The college unveiled a new Operator Training Simulator Laboratory in partnership withKairos Power during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday afternoon. The facility will train reactor operators for Kairos Power’s Hermes low-power demonstration reactor in nearby Oak Ridge and serve as a training hub for UT students entering the advanced nuclear industry.The simulator will enhance the Department of Nuclear Engineering’s programming by providing a shared asset for students and allow Kairos Power employees to gain hands-on experience.Read more about this partnership here:https://bit.ly/4bibqZ6
The Nuclear Engineering department is hosting a visit of Dr. Jean-Paul Allain, the Associate Director of U.S. Fusion Energy Sciences to discuss fusion workforce pathways to provide the capabilities to enable the growing fusion industry. As part of his visit he received an overview of the Tennessee ion Beam Materials Laboratory from Professor Khalid Hattar.
