“Advanced nuclear is suddenly getting a lot of attention as states and countries struggle to meet clean energy deployment goals and an “electrify everything” approach to decarbonization drives electricity demand to new highs.  How are today’s advanced nuclear reactors different from the previous generation?  Can we overcome resistance to nuclear? Can nuclear help meet the needs of new large loads like data centers?  This MassCEC Speaker Series will explore the answers to these questions, and much more!”

Join Professor Sukesh Aghara, Ph.D, a Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he serves as Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies in the Francis College of Engineering. He is Director of the Integrated Nuclear Security and Safeguards Laboratory (INSSL), Co-Director of the International Nuclear Institute (INI), and served as Director of the Nuclear Engineering Program from 2017 to 2024. His subject matter expertise spans nuclear fuel cycle analysis, advanced and small modular reactors (AMR/SMR), energy economics, and workforce development in the nuclear sector.
