Student recognition Julian Kosacki, a Ph.D. student in materials science and engineering, recently earned the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science Graduate Student Research Award. The Missouri S&T Academy of Mines and Metallurgy awarded scholarships to Kathryn Buscher, a senior in ceramic engineering, and McKenzie Shea, a senior in metallurgical engineering. Zoe Reed, a […]

Muthanna Al-Dahhan, Curators’ Distinguished Professor and CEC Distinguished Professor of chemical and biochemical engineering and American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Fellow, won a highly competitive three-year, $800,000 award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP). Beginning in October 2020, the award funds research of fourth-generation pebble-bed nuclear reactors. Al-Dahhan […]

Nuclear engineering and radiation science is grateful for the support shown in the past year by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The grants and scholarships they provided will help our students create tomorrow’s cutting-edge energy solutions and promote nuclear energy as a sustainable resource for decades to come.

Joseph Graham was promoted to associate professor and was granted tenure this year. Graham is also the facility director of S&T’s nuclear reactor.

Remember using a pole suspended in the ceiling joists and a rope and pulley system to move objects in the reactor pool? Those days could soon be a fond (okay, maybe not so fond) memory with the much-anticipated acquisition of a new crane. This crane, which supports transfers into and out of the pool, can handle much heavier equipment than currently possible.

COVID-19 affected this year’s mining engineering competitions just like nearly every other aspect of life. But our teams would not be denied a chance to participate.

Catherine Johnson was promoted to associate professor of mining and explosives engineering and granted tenure this fall. The action comes as no surprise to those who are familiar with Johnson’s work at Missouri S&T.

What would draw a student from Quito, Ecuador, to a mining engineering program at Missouri S&T? For Nicolas Sanchez Calderon, it was the chance to combine his interests in civil engineering and geology. Sound like a stretch? Not at all, says Sanchez Calderon.
