A huge loss for our community. Some called him "Dr. Duderstadt," others called him "The Dude." We knew him as Jim. He will be greatly missed. myumi.ch/8rkNR

My favorite new social media trend. That kid at TAMU Engineering is a rockstar for starting it and ours at U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences answered the call.

Yes! Go South Carolina! It's a chain reaction!

Join U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences Faculty! We're esp. looking for expertise in: ➡️ Experimental or computational thermal-fluids ➡️ Radiation detection Fields we're also considering: ➡️ Nuclear engineering ➡️ Radiation measurements ➡️ Materials ➡️ Plasma/fusion Apply here: myumi.ch/XnedW

Come be my colleague!

My man 🏳️‍🌈 Dr. Lane Carasik 🏳️‍🌈 giving a heck of seminar for the Institute for Energy Solutions at Michigan.

NERS grad student Brian Carpman won 2nd place at the Molten Salt Reactor Workshop for his research on ultra-high temperature ceramics in molten salts, advancing renewable energy & nuclear tech. Congrats, Brian! ners.engin.umich.edu/2024/12/11/bri…

Nuclear Santa brings abundant clean energy to all the good children of the world

Taught the first lecture of NERS 522: Radiation Materials Science II today. This is my worn out book from when I took it as a student, taught by my advisor Dr. Was. It was my favorite class and I'm proud to pass the knowledge on to my students.

Meet the MiHTEE Lab, where U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences researchers are tackling some of the toughest challenges in nuclear materials science. youtube.com/watch?v=_Ft1AC…

Excellent visit and colloquium from Dr. Ruchi Gakhar of Idaho National Lab. She has a sprawling and impactful portfolio working to advance molten salt science and technology, including collaborations with several U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences faculty.

Great visit from Ron Crone and Doug Crawford from Idaho National Lab. We discussed ways to work together to advance nuclear energy using the unique abilities of both of our institutions. Plus, it was a throwback for Doug, who helped build the corrosion labs as a student. U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences

Fresh new work by Reid Bohanon on high temperature compatibilty of yttrium hydride with candidate hydrogen barrier coating materials: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Great visit to the Materials Science and Chemical Engineering department at SBU College of Engineering & Applied Sciences hosted by my pal Prof. Karen Chen-Wiegart. Had a lot of fun chatting with her talented students, and meeting the other inspiring folks in this dynamic department!

We were fortunate to host our colleagues from Los Alamos National Laboratory this week to discuss collaborations across several areas of materials science and manufacturing. Tarik learned that riding in the front of a bakfiets is a good way to get around campus.

New work by Dino Sulemanovic on the effect of Eu on corrosion in chloride salt is gracing the cover of ACS Applied Engineering Materials: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

The Michigan Ion Beam Lab is a gem, and I'm fortunate to have it right down the street. I'm stoked to use MIBL and IMTL (another NSUF at U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences) to study IASCC of surface-modified stainless steel with Sunil Chakrapani from Michigan State University.

The Michigan dinner at the Environmental Degradation Conference is a tradition. Michigan alumni roll deep here because my advisor Prof. Was has had a huge impact on our field. Here we are this week and in 2022. I am glad to continue the tradition. #glowblue U-M Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences
