Sponsored by DOE’s Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES), the 2022 Roundtable “Foundational Science to Accelerate Nuclear Energy Innovation” report is now posted on the BES website. Jaime contributed as a panel expert to its writing. The report outlines the main challenges remaining to be solved to develop materials for advanced nuclear systems.

During the 4-year tenure, Jaime will be part of the committee that will advise the Associate Director of the Physical Sciences Directorate (PSD) on scientific and personnel matters to maintain the excellence and productivity of ORNL.

New paper from the Marian Group in Science Advances! Alan (first author), Jo (fourth), and Jaime (corresponding author) have participated in a study with our collaborators from Johns-Hopkins University explaining the evolution of irradiation damage near grain boundaries in metals. This could have great implications in our understanding of irradiation effects in materials for advanced nuclear systems.
