For the United States to meet its net zero goals, nuclear energy needs to be on the smorgasbord of options. The problem: Its production still suffers from a lack of scale. To increase access rapidly, we need to stand up reactors quickly, says Isabel Naranjo De Candido, a third-year doctoral student advised by Professor Koroush Shirvan. One option is to work with microreactors, transportabl

Artificial intelligence models that pick out patterns in images can often do so better than human eyes - but not always. If a radiologist is using an AI model to help her determine whether a patient's X-rays show signs of pneumonia, when should she trust the model's advice and when should she ignore it? A customized onboarding process could help this radiologist answer that question, accor
