NRC engineers share their expertise at the University of Puerto Rico
Robert Roche-Rivera and Marcos Rolón-Acevedo are licensed professional engineers who work at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They are also alumni of the University of Puerto Rico–Mayagüez (UPRM) and have been sharing their knowledge and experience with students at their alma mater since last year, serving as adjunct professors in the university’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. During the 2023–2024 school year, they each taught two courses: Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering, and Nuclear Power Plant Engineering.
Keynotes Session
Wednesday, August 23, 2023|8:00–8:50AM EDT|Columbia 5-8
Session Chair:
Igor Bolotnov (NCSU)
Dr. Nam Dinh is a professor of nuclear engineering at North Carolina State University. Prior to NCSU, Dr. Dinh was a chair professor of nuclear power safety at Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology, and a Laboratory Fellow at the Idaho National Laboratory. Professor Dinh research in nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics contributed to severe accident management in LWRs and ALWS plants. Professor Dinh's current research is focused on data-driven modeling and validation of advanced simulation codes, applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence in nuclear reactor engineering and safety. He is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) and a recipient of the ANS Thermal-Hydraulics Division’s Technical Achievement Award.
