Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

2024 ANS Student Conference
Dr. Jess Gehin is the associate lab director for the Nuclear Science and Technology directorate. Gehin originally joined INL in 2018 as the chief scientist for the NS&T directorate, bringing nearly 30 years of experience in reactor core physics and technologies to the lab. He also serves as the National Technical Director of the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy’s Microreactor Program. Dr. Gehin worked at ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) from 1992 to 2018, where he held several positions, including Director of the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL). CASL is a DOE Energy Innovation Hub located at ORNL. In that role, Gehin held leadership responsibilities for reactor technology integration, nuclear energy programs, and reactor analysis. His academic experience includes previous positions as Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee and in teaching and advising students. Dr. Gehin earned a B.S. degree in nuclear engineering from Kansas State University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
