We’re excited to announce that Dr. Vince Wang will be returning to the University of Utah as an Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering starting August 2025. With an impressive track record spanning both academia and nuclear industry, Dr. Wang brings invaluable expertise to our growing program.

Dr. Wang previously worked at Radiant, a cutting-edge microreactor company in the nuclear startup space, where he applied his deep knowledge of particle transport simulation to the Kaleidos microreactor design and innovation. Before that, he was part of our own research staff at the University of Utah and now returns to support the continued expansion of the UNEP program, University of Utah TRIGA Reactor (UUTR) research initiatives, and nuclear engineering education across Utah. His return strengthens our commitment to expand our nuclear science and engineering research, education, and industry applications.

Now Recruiting Graduate Students!
Dr. Wang is actively looking for passionate and talented graduate students to join his research group. His work spans a range of high-impact areas, including:

• Advanced reactor core analysis
• TRIGA reactor neutron radiography system
• Accelerator-driven systems (ADS)
• Particle transport simulation methods
• Radiation shielding design and optimization
• Reactor depletion and decay analysis

This is a unique opportunity to work at the frontier of nuclear innovation and research under a mentor with both deep technical knowledge and real-world industry insight.

📩  Interested students should submit the following to Dr. Wang at vince.wang@utah.edu:

1. CV or Resume
2. Short bio outlining education and research interests
3. Academic transcript
4. Sample publication (if available)

Whether you’re passionate about advanced reactors, shielding, simulation, or experimental systems, this is your chance to be part of something impactful.

Welcome back to the U, Dr. Wang! Let’s shape the future of nuclear power together!
