MME Seminar: Bayesian Decision Making and Learning in Complex Uncertain Systems
Workshop / Seminar
WSU Pullman - Online

Design and decision making are pervasive in scientific and industrial endeavors: scientists design experiments to gain insights into physical and social phenomena, engineers design machines to execute tasks more efficiently, and pharmaceutical researchers design new drugs to fight disease.

Knowledge of Uranium oxide surface chemistry leaves much to be desired. Uranium oxide plays a significant role in nuclear energy as the primary substituent of nuclear fuel and although UO2 nanoparticles are formed in spent fuel, few studies have been done to explore UO2 size and surface dependent properties.
