ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

This interactive panel discussion seeks to answer attendee questions about academic career paths including whats, whys, whens, and hows of preparing for an academic career, pursuing a faculty position, and thriving as an early career faculty member. A panel of early career nuclear engineering faculty will briefly discuss their motivations, experiences, and challenges in the pursuit of their academic career paths. Additionally, these faculty will discuss lessons learned and provide recommendations to students considering becoming faculty. We hope all students curious about academic career paths will join this session armed with as many questions as possible. Ask us anything.
