<pstyle="text-align:justify">Piper Fernau is a senior in NPRE with a concentration in Power. She conducts research in the Synthesis, Plasma, Energy, Conversion (SPEC) Lab, where she focuses on PFAS degradation through plasma and electrochemical methods. Piper also serves as the Lead Engineering Learning Assistant for the NPRE department and was selected as a 2025 Nuclear Engineering Student Delegate, representing her commitment to nuclear policy and national advocacy efforts. Outside of academics, she enjoys baking, embroidering, and thrifting.</p>
<p>Mia is a junior in NPRE from Phoenix, AZ. She is doing research with the Illinois Plasma Institute working on projects involving graphene functionalization and plasma analysis. Outside of ANS, Mia is a mentor for Women in Engineering and a member of Women in Nuclear. She enjoys reading, diving, and cooking.
<p>Arnav is a junior studying Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering and is also a student in the Hoeft T&M Program. He conducts plasma-material interaction research on the hybrid tokamak/stellarator reactor affectionately known as HIDRA; he has also interned at the NRC and Fuse Energy Technologies. In his free time, he enjoys playing soccer, drawing, and working on launching rockets to reach space.</p>
<p>Kennedy is a junior in NPRE with a concentration in Plasma and Fusion Science and Engineering. Over the summer she worked with Professor April Novak's Multiphysics and Multiscale research group on adaptive meshing with neutron transport simulations and is planning to get involved with another research group during the school year. In her free time, Kennedy enjoys board games, listening to music, and hanging out with friends.</p>
<p>Tommi Bachta is a sophomore in NPRE with a concentration in Plasma and Fusion Sciences. She is doing research at the Center for Plasma-Material Interactions on gas composition and decomposition under laser exposure. Her other interests include acting, singing, and foreign language.</p>
<p>Mia is a sophomore in NPRE from Phoenix, AZ. She will be joining a research group soon. Outside of ANS, Mia is a mentor for Women in Engineering and a member of Women in Nuclear. She enjoys reading, diving, and cooking.</p>
<p>Justin is a junior in NPRE concentrating in Plasma and Fusion Science. He does research at the Center for Plasma-Material Interactions on flowing liquid lithium loops. In his free time, he enjoys playing violin, hanging out with friends, and writing with fountain pens.</p>
<p>Jack is a junior in NPRE concentrating in Plasma and Fusion Science. He is also majoring in Physics (Nuclear Physics track) and is pursuing a minor in Semiconductor Engineering. He does research at the Center for Plasma-Material Interactions characterizing the interactions of tin ions in an extreme ultraviolet lithography source and with the MARTIANS lab working on developing real-time systems built on neural operators to monitor advanced reactor heat pipe systems. He has interned with the High Current Implantation group at Samsung Austin Semiconductor and also with Argonne National Laboratory calculating temperature profiles for heavy ion irradiations. Besides academics, Jack enjoys playing chess, weightlifting, and competing in any and all sports.</p>
<p>Mikey is a junior in the Power concentration of NPRE. He enjoys ANS social events, and dressing up as a banana for nuclear outreach. In his free time you can find him bouldering, enjoying the outdoors, and playing Spirit Island, Borderlands or Balatro.</p>
