Kiernan McCullough (BSNE '10) recognized by Purdue Engineering as a young alumnus who has rocketed through the ranks and left his mark by age 38.

Purdue Engineering invites applications for a tenured/tenure track position at all ranks (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor). The College of Engineering (COE) at Purdue University recently launched the Purdue Engineering Initiative on Energy Transition (LEAPS) to link, leverage, and align Purdue's extensive learning, discovery, and engagement assets, accelerating the global transition to sustainable, affordable, and reliable energy.

The exploration of artificial intelligence and machine learning has become one of the many innovative strategies contributing to the advancement of cybersecurity and safety in the nuclear industry.

Using the Purdue Reactor Number One (PUR-1) as an example, U.S. NRC educates others on why some reactors glow blue.

Researchers have improved upon nuclear reactor core designs for Generation IV reactors, making them operate more safely in crisis and more efficiently overall. The design can be built using 3D printing, making it more economically viable than traditional designs.

Purdue University and Syngenta are pioneering the use of electrical fields to make seed hybridization more sustainable.

Arvind Sundaram and Hany Abdel-Khalik, co-founders of Purdue-based startup, Covert Defenses, garnered the top prize of $10,000 in the digital tech category at the 2024 Innovation Showcase pitch competition hosted by the Venture Club of Indiana.

One sector that hasn’t used artificial intelligence (AI) to its fullest extent is nuclear power. Hany Abdel-Khalik will oversee a newly launched IAEA collaboration center at Purdue, that will unify experts determined to build the necessary trust in using AI for nuclear power applications.

Purdue University’s longstanding leadership in nuclear energy technologies research has resulted in a $6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to lead a consortium that will revitalize nuclear research facilities and expand university-led research for small modular reactor (SMR) and advanced reactor (AR) technologies.

Purdue University research reactor serves as test bed for optimizing performance of small modular reactors.
