Wen Jiang

Dr. Wen Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering at North Carolina State University (NCSU) and holds a joint faculty appointment with Idaho National Laboratory (INL). At NCSU, he leads a research group focused on multiphysics and multiscale computational materials and mechanics. His research spans advanced manufacturing, microstructure evolution, nuclear fuel performance, structural material mechanical behavior, computational fracture mechanics, and the integration of machine learning methods into physics-based modeling. Prior to joining NCSU, Dr. Jiang was a computational scientist in the Computational Mechanics and Materials Department at INL, where he worked on advanced computational methods for nuclear fuel and structural materials modeling. He is a key developer of the BISON nuclear fuel performance code, which received an R&D 100 Award in 2022.
