Jadyn Reis
Texas A&M University
Jadyn Reis is a 4th year nuclear engineering Ph.D. student at Texas A&M University, where she performs her graduate research under the supervision of Dr. Hassan in the Thermal-Hydraulic Research Laboratory. Her research focuses on single-phase and two-phase flow visualization experiments in a molten salt natural circulation facility. The data from this work aims to improve the predictive capabilities of system-analysis codes with application to advanced nuclear reactors. She is currently working with the University of Texas at Austin to develop a digital twin of the molten salt two-phase flow facility. Jadyn was awarded the University Nuclear Leadership Program (UNLP) Graduate Fellowship by the U.S. Department of Energy, Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP). She has held internships with leaders in the development of molten salt technologies, Kairos Power, TerraPower LLC, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Her work in these roles focused on coupled multidimensional system code modeling and reactor fleet deployment of molten salt reactor designs. Jadyn is set to complete her Ph.D. in May 2024 and hopes to continue work in the development of advanced reactor designs. In her free time, Jadyn enjoys spending time with family in her hometown of Houston, TX, trying new sushi restaurants, and baking sweets.
