University of Texas at Austin

Production and Measurement of Isotopes for Clean Energy, Robust Infrastructure, and Fundamental Science

Students will participate in an international research experience in nuclear science at the world-renowned Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) in France, exploring reactor technology, isotope production, and particle physics through access to cutting-edge laboratory facilities. Working in interdisciplinary teams, students will address real-world challenges such as developing digital twins for isotope production, advancing nuclear simulation methods, and investigating previously unknown nuclear states.
