Marvin Adams’s research interests are computational transport theory, efficient algorithms for massively parallel scientific and engineering calculations, and quantification of uncertainties in predictive science and engineering. He is a Regents Fellow, HTRI Professor, and associate director of the Institute for National Security and Cybersecurity Education & Research at Texas A&M. He earned a B.S. in nuclear engineering from Mississippi State University and an M.S.E. and Ph.D., both in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan.

The Richard K. Osborn Lecture series has been made possible by a generous endowment by MIT Professor Emeritus Sidney Yip, a former student of Professor Osborn. These annual lectures are a tribute to Professor Osborn’s unwavering dedication to education of students in fundamental science. It is the goal of these lectures to inspire future generations of students in nuclear theory and simulation.
