I'm Nick. I have been working on ARMI since 2009, and on ARMI's predecessors since 2006 when I first started running scripts that automated runs of MC2-2 and REBUS fast reactor analysis codes. I'm a nuclear engineer focused on making the process of reactor development and deployment better (in terms of cost, quality, and speed). In my spare time I walk my dog and work on my personal website, whatisnuclear.com (where this is my favorite contribution there).

This is excellent. Very much on board for discussions 🚀

I'm Drew, recently started working with ARMI at USNC Technologies. Been a fan of open source nuclear for a few years, developing serpentTools for parsing Serpent output files in Python and contributing to openmc

Hi - I'm Jake and I've been working at TerraPower for just over 5 years now. My interest are in reactor physics, specifically with fast reactors, and in radiation shielding. I enjoy working with nuclear data and would love to contribute to any improvements on nuclear data management internal or external to the ARMI framework.

I am familiar with fast reactor design codes, including MC2-3, DIF3D/VARIANT, MCNP, PARTISN, and PERSENT. I have some limited experience with light water reactor cross section codes like CASMO and HELIOS. Feel free to reach out to me anytime!

I'm John and I have been working on the core ARMI team at TerraPower for about 6 months. I have graduate degrees in Physics and Engineering, but neither of those in Nuclear Engineering. i am the Senior Software Engineer at TP and split my time between writing code and supporting nuclear engineers who are working in the ARMI ecosystem.

@scottyak Feel free to say "hi"!

Hi all, I am Scott. I am a software engineer currently working at Google. I studied Physics for a 1 year or so before switching to CS in college, and have no background in nuclear engineering. I am not affiliated with Terrapower -- I am just a fan of nuclear energy who wants to get involved in some way in my (unfortunately rather limited) personal time, and I hope to fix some bugs, spread the word about this project, and get more people involved :)
