Prof. Jacob Eapen
NC State University, USA
PhD in Nuclear Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2006). Dr. Eapen is a Professor and the Director of the Undergraduate Program in the Nuclear Engineering Department at NC State University. Dr. Eapen’s primary expertise is in atomistic and multiscale modeling of materials, especially in transport of solid/fluid systems, irradiated behavior of graphite, composites and alloys, slow aging/creep of disordered materials, and machine learning methods in materials characterization and modeling. In recent years, he has combined modeling and experiments on a single platform for a science-based evaluation of materials response. He has worked on several US DOE materials projects related to current and advanced nuclear reactors.
