NextGen MURR to partner with Burns & McDonnell
The University of Missouri has entered a consulting agreement with construction firm Burns & McDonnell to develop NextGen MURR, a new 20-MW light water research reactor that will produce medical isotopes for cancer treatments and theranostics and will be used to conduct neutron science research.
2022 ANS Annual Meeting
Jaime Marian is a professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at UCLA. His group focuses on understanding materials evolution under extreme conditions using multiscale computational modeling, and developing efficient computational techniques, taking advantage of large-scale parallel computing capabilities. Specific areas of interest are microstructural evolution and mechanical property degradation in fusion materials, simulations of plastic deformation in alloys, simulations of thermodynamics and phase transformations in functional materials, strength in nanostructured crystals, and simulations of irradiation damage. He received his PhD in Nuclear Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, followed by a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the California Institute of Technology, and a staff scientist position at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He has been the recipient of the DOE Early Career Award and is the author of over 100 publications in the areas of irradiation damage in materials, plasticity, deformation, mechanics, and numerical methods.
