Candidate for MEng in Nuclear Engineering Undergraduate Institution: Drexel University Capstone Project: Machine Learning Algorithms for Nuclear Fusion Magnet Material Science Faculty Advisors: Prof. Peter Hosemann [NE] and Christopher Reis, PhD, Postdoc We are going to be building off the work of the previous MEng Capstone group to create a machine-learning algorithm to predict and analyze the radiation effects superconductors experience during their anticipated service condition in fusion reactors. The specific superconductor we are analyzing is REBCO-coated conductors which due to their high operating temperature and ability to sustain strong magnetic fields have shown great promise in making controlled fusion reactors a reality. Through microscopic images of pristine and irradiated REBCO, we are constructing an original relationship between irradiation of the material and change in material performance.
