Title:<\/strong> AI Founded on Physics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> The nuclear industry sits firmly between seeing the significant benefit of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and guarding against the challenges these novel technologies could create. The path forward lies in the use of AI methods firmly grounded in the physical principles governing conventional physics-based simulations. This seminar will explore ways in which Physics-INformed (PIN) machine learning and AI models for the analysis of fission-based reactor systems can aid the rapidly growing industry in its pursuit of safe and economical reactor development. A special focus will be given to the formulation of some AI models under a PIN framework such that the discussed methods can be applied to a wide variety of scenarios. Practical applications of these models, such as optimizing reactor performance and dynamics characterization, will also be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker:<\/strong> Dean Price, Idaho National Laboratory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bio:<\/strong> Dean Price is a Russell L. Heath distinguished postdoctoral associate at Idaho National Laboratory in the Reactor Physics Methods and Analysis Group. He holds a PhD in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Science from the University of Michigan where he was awarded fellowships from both the National Science Foundation as well as the Nuclear Energy University Program. He has published 20 articles in peer-reviewed journals along with numerous conference papers and technical reports. His research interests focus on the integration of high fidelity multiphysics simulations with data driven methods to support the development and deployment of advanced reactors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seminar is presented by the Institute for Nuclear Energy Systems<\/a> and the Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
