The N-Phase Lab drives innovation in thermal-hydraulics to shape the future of advanced nuclear systems and energy technologies. Through state-of-the-art experiments and high-fidelity simulations, we pioneer safe, efficient, and transformative solutions for both terrestrial reactors and space applications.

Openings

  • Our lab is seeking highly motivated graduate students with a background in nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering or other related fields. If you have interests, please contact Prof. Shi (shis3@rpi.edu) for additional information. 

  • Highly motivated undergraduate students are welcome to participate in our research. Undergraduate students are encouraged to publish their research results.

Peter Iascone and Caleb Malinowski attended the 2025 ANS Annual Conference held at Chicago, IL. Peter presented the paper "Experimental study of upward annular two-phase flow," Caleb also presented his paper "High-speed imaging system for the particle transport investigation." Both of the work are supported by the U.S. NRC.
