A doctoral student in nuclear science and engineering at MIT, Florian Chavagnat is working with professors Matteo Bucci and Emilio Baglietto to answer fundamental questions about heat transfer that will shape the success of nuclear power plants and extended missions in space.
MIT professor Matteo Bucci has been developing diagnostics anchored in infrared thermometry and a technique using visible light to study the boiling crisis. His autonomous laboratory for boiling heat transfer experiments integrates advanced diagnostics, machine learning, and advanced modeling tools.
