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.
International Conference on Physics of Reactors 2024 Plenary SPeaker
Los Alamos National Laboratory
Advanced Reactor Fuel Cycles and Simulations
Dr. Holly Trellue, Los Alamos National Laboratory, is an expert in advanced reactor fuel cycles and simulations and is leading several nuclear energy and nonproliferation-related efforts. Dr. Trellue has performed neutronic and depletion simulations on numerous reactor systems over the past 28 years and is the Technical Area Lead for the DOE-NE Microreactor Program. She has significant experience working on reactor/critical experiment simulations, nuclear data, and nonproliferation topics related to reactors as well as nuclear fuel cycle analysis. She earned a PhD in nuclear engineering from the University of New Mexico in 2003 and is now also the leader of the Engineering Institute at LANL.
