Biography:
Yifeng Che joined Idaho National Laboratory in 2021 as a Russell L. Heath distinguished postdoctoral associate. Her research interests are focused on developing data driven approaches to accelerate the deployment of advanced nuclear energy systems. Dr. Che develops advanced machine learning and Bayesian inference algorithms for reduced-order modeling, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification, with an objective of enhancing the reliability of fuel performance codes. Dr. Che holds a Ph.D. in nuclear science and engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2021.
