Chemical engineering graduate student Tyler Williams has been awarded the University Nuclear Leadership Program Fellowship to develop thin-layer electrochemical sensors for molten salt solutions that could monitor a much wider range of conditions than traditional electrochemical sensors. These thin-layer sensors may be deployed in next-generation nuclear reactors and nuclear material processing units to optimize operation and mitigate proliferation. The $169,000 award will be distributed over three years and includes a research travel allowance and a funded internship at a Department of Energy facility. A total of 32 fellowships were awarded to students at 19 universities.
