Katheren R. B. Nantes - Materials for Nuclear Power Group
Katheren Nantes joined PSU in 2021 as a Graduate Student to pursue her PhD in Nuclear Engineering, after receiving her BSc in Nuclear Engineering from Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Her research focuses on developing failure criteria to estimate low-temperature hydrided cladding failure during an RIA transient, using multiphysics material simulations on MOOSE/BISON code of near-term Accident Tolerant Fuel concepts, including coated cladding, high burnup fuel and higher enrichment pellets.
