Dejarnette, Christina

Dengler-Jeanblanc, Gabriel

Fowler, Ethan

Biography I originally attended the University of Texas at Austin where I studied physics. My current work involves modeling and analysis of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors and microreactors using Serpent and MOOSE tools.

Fowler, Jacob

Garcia, Samuel

Biography I’m a third year Ph.D. student researching microreactor systems. My research primarily focuses on multiphysics and economics optimization of liquid sodium reactor microreactors.  I also do benchmarking and validation of the Systems for Nuclear Auxiliary Program (SNAP) 8 Experimental Reactor, modeling and capturing documented neutronic and multiphysics behavior unique to microreactors. I have earned …
