PhD E&P Year 2024
The 18th ENEN PhD Event & Prize, organized by the European Nuclear Education Network (ENEN), celebrates outstanding research in the nuclear field. This event, co-sponsored by ENEN and the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC), was held on 11 September 2024 in Munich, Germany.
The 4 Winners of the ENEN PhD Event & Prize 2024 are:
> CAQUAS Aurore, “The bathtub vortex: properties of the flow and gas entrainment”
> VÁZQUEZ-RODRÍGUEZ Carlos, “Advanced implementation of the spray safety system into a 3D-GOTHIC PWR-W containment model and its impact on the hydrogen combustion risk”
> FUENTES SOLIS Noelia, “Effect of Liquid Metal Environment on Nucleation and Propagation of Fatigue Cracks”
> PINTO Catarina Isabel Guilherme, “3D cancer models for the theranostic evaluation of 64CuCl2”
The four winners were selected from the finalists according to the evaluation of the Jury based on their presentations and the work delivered within the application and at the conference.
The following Finalists were selected among all the received applications, to present their research works in the Event:
> CHEIKH Sidi-Mohamed, “Fission yields evaluation for the main actinides involved in the nuclear fuel cycle”
> LONGO Lorenzo, “Experimental characterization of PWR fuel assemblies mechanical behaviour under hydrodynamic and seismic-like loads”
> BELGRAND Louis , “On the accuracy of microscale solutions in modeling the multiscale thermo-mechanical behavior of heterogeneous materials”
> CAVALLINI Caterina , “Investigation of corrosion-erosion phenomena in primary cooling circuits of reactor components”
> ZULLO Giovanni, “Development and assessment of an open-source code for gaseous and volatile fission product behaviour in light water reactor fuel”
> MOUTIN Léo, “UO2 ceramics porous network characterization and modelling. Simulation of the thermal conductivity of such microstructures at various temperatures and in different environments”
> KARIM Hamza , “Microfluidics and modeling: two tools for determining the kinetic constants of mass transfer in liquid-liquid extraction”
> GALLUCCIO Francesco, “Advanced radiochemical methods and green processes to address challenging waste in nuclear decommissioning”
> REN Emmanuel, “Screening of the microscopic origins of Xe/Kr separation in nanoporous materials”
> RAMOISIAUX Eliott, “Time-dependent evaluation of machine and shielding activation for medical accelerator systems: Self-consistent numerical evaluation of concrete shielding activation for proton therapy systems.”
> DUNDARA DEBELJUH Dea, “Characterization of myocardial perfusion imaging systems through the physical descriptors”
> LAMBRI Nicola, “Multicentric evaluation of a machine learning model to streamline the radiotherapy patient specific quality assurance process”
This year event was highly remarkable because of the friendly and competitive spirit of the participants where the questions between the fellow finalists raised the interest and admiration for each others’ work.
With this activity, ENEN aims to promote the research work of PhD students. In order to set up a bridge between PhD students and professionals in the nuclear field. The ENEN PhD Events are co-sponsored by the European Nuclear Education Network Association (ENEN), the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC), and the organizer of the international conference.
