American Nuclear Society announces Fellows for fall 2003
The most recently named ANS Fellows are:
)
Jong H. Kim. For outstanding contributions to developing the art, science and technology of thermal hydraulics and safety analysis with focused applications to benefit the nuclear industry in tangible and verifiable economic terms. His technical and scientific leadership raised the standard of excellence in meeting the toughest industrial challenges.)
Robert C. Little. For significant contributions to both physics and algorithm development, defining improved computational capabilities for other researchers to do analysis and to study the response of radiation as it interacts with matter. He has been a key leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the development of the Monte Carlo N-Particle code.)
Farzad Rahnema. For significant contributions to computational methods in reactor physics, providing for more efficient and accurate analysis of both commercial and research reactor design. He has also made influential contributions in literature, advancing the state of the art in cross-section homogenization, coarse-mesh diffusion and transport theory.)
Nathan O. Siu. For his pioneering work in the development of methods to model dynamic behavior of complex systems and for his leadership in developing methods for the treatment of uncertainties across multiple disciplines. His efforts in fire simulation have contributed the valuable advances in fire risk assessment within nuclear power industry.)
Lefteri H. Tsoukalas. In recognition of contributions important applications to many complex components of nuclear engineering systems, including sensors and instrumentation for plant diagnostics, and for his exceptional leadership and vision as head of the School of Nuclear Engineering at Purdue University.
