Shuai Che is a person who is always chasing perfection. Recently Shuai has worked on a project to investigate the thermal-hydraulic and mechanical performance of a printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE), which was developed for use with high temperature reactors. Prior to joining the Thermal Hydraulics Lab Shuai earned a Master of Science in Engineering degree from University of Michigan, when he was financially supported by the China Scholarship Council, and a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Nuclear Engineering from Harbin Engineering University.

So-Bin Cho is interested in exploring sustainable heat applications that unite system modeling, optimized decision-making, and thermal hydraulics, focusing on energy efficiency improvements. So-Bin is co-advised by Professor Todd Allen to investigate pragmatic technology options for different sectors. At the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), he earned a B.S in Physics with a minor in Economics and an M.S. in Nuclear Engineering. As an intern at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) he developed a simulation model to predict potential failures on thermal storage systems. In his free time, So-Bin loves rewatching old films, such as Forrest Gump.

Meredith joined the University of Michigan as a graduate research assistant in August 2021. She is co-advised by Dr. Todd Allen and she is collaborating with researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory on the thermal hydraulic aspects of the Transformational Challenge Reactor. In May 2021, she graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Nuclear Engineering and minors in chemistry, math, and physics. Meredith has completed internships with Framatome and Southern Nuclear, two co-op rotations with DuPont, and undergraduate research in radiochemistry. After graduate school, she hopes to contribute to the development and implementation of advanced nuclear reactor designs.

Muyue Li is interested in the use of molten salt as a coolant for reactors and its application to fourth-generation nuclear reactors. Muyue joined the Thermal Hydraulics Laboratory’s research group in January 2022, after graduating from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering. During his undergraduate studies at OSU, he developed a system to generate copper electrodeposition layers and used laser shock peening to enhance material mechanical and anti-corrosion properties. He likes to walk around and discover the wonderful scenery in nature in his free time.
