Fermilab center renamed after late particle physicist Helen Edwards
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Integrated Engineering Research Center, which officially opened in January 2024, is now known as the Helen Edwards Engineering Center. The name was changed to honor the late particle physicist who led the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the lab’s Tevatron accelerator and was part of the Water Resources Development Act signed by President Biden in December 2024, according to a Fermilab press release.

High-performance computing has played a crucial role throughout the history of nuclear engineering. Significant investments have led to the development of exascale computers, with ORNL's Frontier coming online last year. In this panel, we discuss the latest trends in computing and software to take advantage of this unprecedented computing power. We also discuss the impact and best use of high-fidelity simulations to advance nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics.
