Micah S. Best
Graduate Research Assistant at Texas A&M University
I am a graduate student at Texas A&M University pursuing a M.S. Nuclear Engineering degree. I am working as a Graduate Research Assistant for Dr. Mark Kimber. I am involved with the Molten Salt Research Reactor (MSRR) project that is being funded by Natura Resources. My role in the project is to work along with a team to develop a program called SyTH that will analyze the system thermal-hydraulics of the molten salt reactor.
In December 2023, I graduated with a B.S. Mechanical Engineering degree from Texas A&M University.
On Aug. 14-18, 2023, I attended the 17th International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC-17) to share my research work. This conference has published my first conference paper.
I have programming experience in several languages: primarily Python and C++. I enjoy using software development to solve engineering problems, model real world physics and to visualize data.
