Brendan Kochunas has received the Ullrich Education Excellence Award for his outstanding contributions to teaching & mentorship at @umich. From innovative courses to leadership of the NuRAM group, his impact on students spans disciplines & degree levels. myumi.ch/G2wQb

Our engineering physics students have launched a new U-M student organization. SEPS is building community, supporting professional growth, and connecting students across physics and engineering. myumi.ch/bVWXb

H3D has several options for high-resolution #radiation imagers that can withstand vehicle-based mechanical shocks. They are currently installed on several types of tactical vehicles that specialize in #CBRNE response, some of which look like the tan turret modeled below.

Check out "The debate about nuclear energy must be reframed for the future" by assistant prof. Aditi Verma and Katie Snyder in the @bulletinatomic anniversary issue.

Congratulations, Professor Karthik Duraisamy!

Yesterday, students from Michigan Advocates for Nuclear Energy (MANE) joined the first annual National March for Nuclear Energy—standing for progress, truth, and real conversations about our planet’s future.

Congrats to NERS master’s student Caleb Bush on receiving the Richard J. Burk, Jr. Fellowship from the Health Physics Society! His work focuses on designing low-cost radiation measurement tools to support the next generation of nuclear technologies. ners.engin.umich.edu/2025/08/05/cal…

Our Michigan Ion Beam Lab (MIBL) will host 6 new @GovNuclear #NSUF Rapid Turnaround projects—totaling 600+ hours of accelerator time. These experiments support next-gen nuclear materials & sensors for a safer, more reliable energy future. myumi.ch/15MmM

The 2025 Harper Academy 4 Future Nuclear Engineers wrapped up an incredible summer at @UMengineering ! Students from Michigan and beyond explored fission & fusion, toured MIBL & FRIB, and imagined the future of energy through design & community engagement. ners.engin.umich.edu/2025/08/04/har…

NERS congratulates alumnus and Advisory Board Member Ayman Hawari (MSE ’90, PhD ’95), who has officially begun his new role at @TAMUEngineering. A national leader in advanced reactors and nuclear data, he continues to shape the future of our field. ners.engin.umich.edu/2025/08/04/aym…

Logan Burnett, a NERS grad student in Prof. Majdi Radaideh’s group, was awarded the inaugural Sigma Pi Sigma Leadership Scholarship! At UAB, he built a community in physics—at @UMengineering, he’s advancing digital twins for microreactors. ners.engin.umich.edu/2025/07/17/log…

🌍 Don’t miss your chance to connect with global leaders in nuclear education, science, technology & policy. Join us at the @OECD_NEA Global Forum Symposium this Fall in Ann Arbor! Register today: myumi.ch/dggnZ

NERS alum Clint Ballinger (PhD '91) was named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors! He was honored for innovations in nanomaterials, entrepreneurship, and mentorship. The ceremony was held June 26 in Atlanta. Glow Blue! ners.engin.umich.edu/2025/07/09/cli…

@J_Lovering Great point @J_Lovering . We'd tried to use that same logic in this recently published piece about personal connections and technology deployment. thirdway.org/blog/us-leader…

Anyway, it was always going to be tough to get a better deal than the JCPOA (why it was a terrible idea to leave!), but I don't think the Trump administration has the right people who can pull off this sort of human-to-human negotiation on tricky scientific issues

Not that anyone needs my 2 cents on Iran, but I did hear a nice science diplomacy story when I was a PhD: Something that greased the wheels during the original negotiations of the JCPOA was that Ernie Moniz and his Iranian counterpart had overlapped at MIT...

Introducing our redesigned our GammAware 3D #radiation imager. It weighs < 7 kg and can be carried in 1 hand for easy 3D radiation mapping. H3D delivered our first unit last week and will have live GammAware demonstrations in the USA and Belgium this week #cbrne #npp #radwaste

We very much appreciate this support of our nuclear engineering students and this emphasize on creativity (in this case music). Creativity is an important skill for a nuclear engineer. Thanks Mrs. Farrell for your support of our students.

I had the honor of speaking at a tribute to former @ANS_org President and @umichNERS alumni John Kelly. It was a nice example of how our students go out and change the world in a positive way.

Big wins for NERS at the 2025 MMRI-(MC)² Poster Symposium! Logan Clowers (gold) and Crewse Petersen (silver) took top honors—and shoutout to Lucas Trojanowski (silver), from Prof. Y Z’s group! myumi.ch/z9ZMJ

A paper co-authored by NERS students won an INSC award from NEUP for analyzing 1.26M+ tweets about U.S. nuclear sentiment using large language models. Congrats to this incredible interdisciplinary team! myumi.ch/A133J

World Bank Ends Its Ban on Funding Nuclear Power Projects. This is a big change. nytimes.com/2025/06/11/cli…
