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 High-Level Radioactive Waste Management 2022 Speaker
Kuhika Gupta is the Associate Director of Energy and Security at OU’s Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA). She has a Ph.D. in Political Science and Public Policy and an M.A. in International Relations. Her research focuses on the policy process and how social, political, and institutional factors influence policymaking. She studies multiple policy domains including energy policy, environmental policy, and weather and climate policy. She has spent over a decade studying public perceptions regarding nuclear energy as well as the factors that influence nuclear facility siting from a global comparative perspective. She has led and managed several federally funded projects studying the public views about nuclear energy using multiple data streams including surveys and social media data. Her research has been published in several peer-reviewed journals including Energy Policy, Policy Studies Journal, Nature-Climate Change, and Review of Policy Research.
