Beyond the classroom: How a corporate-university partnership benefits the community
For the past several years, the University of North Carolina–Wilmington has hosted volunteer instructors from Wilmington-based GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy who teach engineering courses and engage with students. This guest instructor program has grown under the guidance of Amy Craig Reamer, associate professor of practice and director of engineering in the UNCW College of Science and Engineering’s Department of Computer Science. Under her oversight, an informal but strong public-private partnership has been established to the benefit of UNCW students and the wider Wilmington community.
Plutonium Futures - The Science 2024
Jean Aupiais is a professor of radiochemistry at the National Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology located at the CEA Saclay center. He defended his thesis in 1990 on the quantification of thorium and uranium isotopes in basaltic rocks in order to discriminate between natural and anthropogenic uranium. He obtained the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (Dr. Habil.) in 2001 for which he summarized his research activities on the measurement of alpha emitters by alpha liquid scintillation. He presently focuses his research on actinide speciation in environment by means of a hyphenated technique called CE-ICPMS (capillary electrophoresis coupled to an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer); with particular emphasis on the solution thermodynamics of pentavalent plutonium.
