Ericmoore Jossou: Optimizing nuclear fuels for next-generation reactors
In 2010, when Ericmoore Jossou was attending college in northern Nigeria, the lights would flicker in and out all day, sometimes lasting only for a couple of hours at a time. The frustrating experience reaffirmed Jossou’s realization that the country’s sporadic energy...
Jacopo Buongiorno elected to NAE
NSE’s Jacopo Buongiorno along with 15 from MIT, elected to National Academy of Engineering in 2024 are honored for significant contributions to engineering research, practice, and education
Technique could improve the sensitivity of quantum sensing devices
The method lets researchers identify and control larger numbers of atomic-scale defects, to build a bigger system of qubits.
Guoqing Wang: Exploring quantum phenomena through an engineering perspective
Guoqing Wang loves to play the erhu, a Chinese stringed musical instrument, remembering lessons he learned from his father as a young boy. He sees similarities between the music from the bowed instrument and the research subject he works on today: quantum...
Masashi Hirose: Democratizing access to quantum
Masashi Hirose was a high-schooler in Nagoya, Japan, when he first picked up a book about quantum physics. Most of the scientific phenomena he knew about until then seemed to have been studied thoroughly and were well-established entities. But quantum, with concepts...
NSE team wins ANS Student Design Competition
NSE graduate students Assil Halimi, Gyutae Park, Isabel Naranjo De Candido, and Loukas Carayannopoulos were recognized for their project titled “Design Optimization of an Organic-Cooled Light-Water-Moderated Micro-Reactor for Electricity and Hydrogen Generation”.
NSE alums Steven Jepeal and Samuel McAlpine selected to Forbes 30 under 30
Recognized in the Fobes 30 Under 30 — Manufacturing & Industry category for 2024, Jepeal and McAlpine cofounded Allium to develop coatings for structural engineering and construction projects that enable buildings and bridges to last centuries instead of decades.
MIT engineers develop a way to determine how the surfaces of materials behave
Prof Bilge Yildiz and colleagues devised a machine-learning-based method to investigate how materials behave at their surfaces. The approach could help in developing compounds or alloys for use as catalysts, semiconductors, or battery components.
Three MIT students selected as inaugural MIT-Pillar AI Collective Fellows
The inaugural MIT-Pillar AI Collective Fellows are (from left to right) Alexander Andonian, Daniel Magley, and Madhumitha Ravichandra.
Making nuclear energy facilities easier to build and transport
At MIT, Isabel Naranjo De Candido is working on improving access to nuclear energy by scaling down reactor size and, in the case of microreactors, making them mobile enough to travel to places where they’re needed. Photo: Gretchen Ertl
