ABOUT THE LAB

The Intersection Of Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Engineering.

We work at the intersection of nuclear engineering & computer science to develop scalable and deployable algorithms for optimization, control, and safety performance in complex systems like nuclear power plants.

Core Values

Students usually join our group for two main reasons: they value the high quality of our research and publications, and they hear great things about our lab culture. In AIMS, we have five core values that we strive to maintain: Welcome, Support, Compete, Respect, and Listen.

Welcome

Welcome

We welcome individuals from all backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives. Our lab thrives on openness, creating a supportive environment where everyone feels respected and can contribute their unique insights to our research.

Research Focus

Our lab is split into three groups that have different research focuses and intersect heavily with each other. These groups are Reactors, Computing, and Controls. Our major accomplishments are showcased in the Software and Datasets portion of this website.

Where We Come From

Teaching Philosophy

Hands-on Learning

Integrated Theoretical-Computational Approach

Enrolling in one of Prof. Radaideh's courses, you'll quickly find yourself immersed in hands-on learning—often in front of a computer, writing code or troubleshooting reactor simulations.

His teaching philosophy centers on an integrated theoretical-computational approach, where core theoretical concepts are immediately reinforced through practical application in a lab-based setting that extends throughout the semester.

Students gain experience with nuclear reactor simulation tools, programming, machine learning algorithms, and high-performance computing systems—all while deepening their understanding of the underlying theory.
