Zaid presented his work “Eddy Viscosity Prediction and Uncertainty Quantification with Bayesian Optimized Deep Ensemble” at the ANS Advances in Thermal Hydraulics (ATH 2024) conference.
The journal version of this work is currently under review.
Congratulations Zaid!
Dr. Yang Liu attended The 14th International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermal-Hydraulics, Operation, and Safety(NUTHOS-14) in Vancouver, Canada on August 25-28. He chaired a panel which discussed the progress, challenges, and opportunities on applying AI/ML for nuclear thermal hydraulics. He also presented a research paper “Development of data-driven eddy viscosity closure to support MSR flow and heat transfer modeling based on SAM-ML”.
Zavier Ndum Ndum presented his pioneering research on the “Design, construction, and calibration of an Avalanche-confinement Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter (AcTEPC) for Radiation Monitoring in Space and Therapeutic Applications” at the 65th Annual Meeting of the Institute of Nuclear Materials Management (INMM) in Portland, Oregon. This project, which began as part of his master’s thesis at Politecnico di Milano, Italy continues to advance at Texas A&M University, where Zavier integrates artificial intelligence and Large Language Models into his work.
PhD student in SMART group Zavier Ndum Ndum has been awarded the prestigious American Nuclear Society (ANS) Graduate Scholarship for the 2024-2025 academic year. This accolade recognizes his outstanding efforts and academic achievements in nuclear science and engineering. The scholarship highlights his dedication to pushing the boundaries of nuclear research and his commitment to making significant contributions to the field.
