Feinstein Institutes to research novel radiation countermeasure
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, home of the research institutes of New York’s Northwell Health, announced it has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of human ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a medical countermeasure against radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS).

Want to learn more about the MOOSE Framework and how to use it? Join our PSU students and Dr. Joshua Hansel (INL) for this hands-on workshop which will introduce attendees to the Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE), an open-source finite element framework developed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL) for advanced computational modeling and simulation. The workshop is designed for those with no prior experience using MOOSE. Attendees should bring laptops with MOOSE pre-installed to follow along with hands-on exercises and examples. Installation instructions will be provided prior to the workshop. By the end, you will be able to create simple models with the classes available in MOOSE's library and have basic orientation on creating your own MOOSE-based applications.
Speaker
Joshua Hansel
Dr. Joshua Hansel is a computational scientist at Idaho National Laboratory. He earned his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering at Texas A&M University with his Ph.D. research on stabilization techniques for solving hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations. Since beginning his career at INL, Dr. Hansel has worked on the systems code RELAP-7 and the MOOSE Thermal Hydraulics Module (THM). Currently, he is the lead developer of the MOOSE-based heat pipe application, Sockeye.
