During the webinar, Jonah will outline the mechanisms behind each Virtual Lab and how they work together to bridge technological fluencies and generational gaps in nuclear engineering education. 

“Our Virtual Labs were created to produce undergraduate nuclear radiation detection and reactor operations laboratories in a more immersive, standardized and gradual manner,” commented Jonah. “Virtual Labs will eventually be used to provide nuclear and radiological education to middle and high-school students, as well as lower-division undergraduate students who do not have access to high-class nuclear engineering facilities.”

The eventual goal is that Virtual Labs will be used as an open-source and a publicly available education tool across the world, aiding in the goal of securing a clean energy future using nuclear power.

The Virtual Labs research project is being developed by six undergraduate students, Robert Beatty, Zenen Enriquez, Shea Ruthe, Trent Bloor, Julian Triveri and Jonah Lau, under the supervision of Dr. Stylianos Chatzidakis.
