On March 13, 2025, Dean Ian Robertson held an event to recognize engineering faculty and staff for outstanding contributions. Tiago Moreira<\/a>, a scientist in the Solar Energy Laboratory and Thermal Hydraulics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, received the Bollinger Academic Staff Distinguished Achievement Award for Excellence in Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreira is a prolific, collaborative nuclear energy researcher; a respected ambassador of our college; and a positive influence in our graduate students’ lives and careers. In 2024 alone, for example, he was an author of more than 10 papers published in, or submitted to, top journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2023, he has contributed to eight papers presented at conferences, including a keynote paper and an award-winning paper at the International Heat Transfer Conference. Held every four years, it’s known as the “Olympics of Heat Transfer” for its high relevance in the field. He is principal investigator or a co-PI on millions of dollars’ worth of grants in partnership with colleagues here, at other universities, and with industry and government agencies. He is active in his field at the international level, has been a reviewer for top journals and funding agencies\u2014and here in our college, works closely with several graduate students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
