SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Nuclear Energy’s Next Act: Innovation\, Federal Support and the Role of Modeling and Simulation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe U.S. nuclear industry is entering a new chapter\, driven by rising energy demand\, renewed public interest\, and unprecedented federal support. This talk will explore the forces behind today’s nuclear momentum\, including efforts to deploy advanced reactors\, strengthen domestic nuclear capabilities\, and sustain the performance of the existing reactor fleet. It will also highlight the growing role of modeling and simulation in this evolving landscape. As innovative reactor concepts move from idea to deployment\, predictive tools are increasingly essential for understanding system behavior\, guiding design and licensing\, and evaluating technologies for which experimental data remain limited. Together\, public investment\, industry innovation\, and advanced computational tools are helping shape nuclear energy’s next act.\n\nBiography:\nDr. Emily Shemon is a nuclear engineer at the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory. She serves on the extended leadership team of the DOE’s Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) Program where she manages development\, validation\, and deployment of multiphysics tools for nuclear reactor analysis. She currently leads technical teams that develop high fidelity meshing software as well as fast reactor technology modeling capabilities. She co-leads the National Reactor Innovation Center’s Virtual Test Bed efforts\, which supports industry adoption of advanced modeling and simulation through the open sharing of models. Dr. Shemon also has a background in high-performance computing and is on staff at Argonne’s Leadership Computing Facility. She is a graduate of the University of Michigan’s Department of Nuclear Engineering & Radiological Sciences where she received a Ph.D. in 2011.\n\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location\, please check the related link the week of this event

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Multiplicity: from binary to planetary formation
DESCRIPTION:Most stars in our galaxy form in systems\, whose architecture and composition are fossil records of\ntheir formation and evolution. Particularly for brown dwarfs and exoplanets\, belonging to a system is\na key advantage for their characterization and the calibration of evolutionary and atmospheric\nmodels. In this talk\, I will provide a status update on the multiplicity statistics within the 20pc\ncensus\, and lay out multiple ongoing efforts to characterize benchmark systems and confirm\ncandidate ones with Gaia-Hipparcos accelerations\, double-PSF fitting\, and spectral binary fitting\nprior to the upcoming Gaia DR4. These benchmark systems are also our best atmospheric\nlaboratories to disentangle confounding parameters and their effect on spectroscopy. Together\, these\nstudies bridge separate populations that look alike in their fundamental and atmospheric properties\nbut differ in origin\, leveraging that contrast to trace their stellar or planetary formation histories.
