2022 ETI Newsletter
Thank you for your contribution to the team, which will hopefully thrive beyond the ETI lifespan, and look forward to the continuation of this fruitful and stimulating collaboration!
Innovation is exploration of uncertain and unfamiliar space. In ETI consortium, we place a special emphasis on innovation through our research, education of the next generation of scientists, and broad outreach activities. Reflecting on the achievements of the past year in ETI consortium, this newsletter highlights a combination of creativity, resourcefulness, and discipline leading the success of various initiatives.

ETI 101 is successfully concluded!
ETI Consortium offered a semester-long introductory course (ETI 101) on foundations of nuclear science and engineering. There is no cost to participate this program!
ETI 101 kick-offed on January 11, 2022. Over 20 professors / scientists from 13 institutions (6 national labs) presented impressive lectures on 5 topics:
- Nuclear Science of Radiation Interactions Nuclear
- Engineering of Reactors and Systems
- Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Management
- Overview of Nuclear security and Nonproliferation
- Nexus of Technology and Policy
2022 ETI Workshop is successfully concluded!
ETI successfully hosted its Annual Workshop on March 29 – 30, 2022 in a hybrid format at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) and via BlueJeans. This workshop opened with welcome remarks, keynote presentations, followed by technical talks, poster presentations, as well as recruitment session, and lab tour. More details are available here.
The core mission of the Consortium for Enabling Technologies and Innovation (ETI) is to direct the multidisciplinary research and innovation that enable the technologies to train the next-generation of human capital, and to bridge the gap between the university basic research and NNSA national laboratories’ mission-specific applications. The ETI Consortium is composed of 14 institutions of higher education and 12 national laboratories committed to promoting the spirit of collaborative intelligence.
Overall Goals
The overarching goal of this Consortium is to create a research and education environment to support cross-cutting technologies across three core disciplines: the umbrella of (1) computer and engineering science research specifically in a form of machine learning and high performance computing (HPC) will support and enhance (2) advanced manufacturing and (3) nuclear detection technologies.
We are looking to employ predictive strategies to enhance our understanding of tomorrow’s needs in nuclear nonproliferation. The core of the research expenditures is directed at student education and support in order to grow the next generation of nonproliferation scientists with strong connections to national laboratories.
