Next-Generation Nuclear Systems AI Integration, Passive Safety, and Advanced Reactor Engineering

Prof. Bahman Zohuri is an accomplished scientist, engineer, and academic with deep expertise in nuclear engineering, thermodynamics, and applied physics. He serves as an Adjunct Professor at Golden Gate University, where he teaches courses in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Prof. Zohuri holds degrees in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, and Nuclear Engineering from institutions including the University of Illinois and the University of New Mexico. Early in his career, he contributed to advanced research projects at Westinghouse, and later in defense and semiconductor industries, before founding Galaxy Advanced Engineering, Inc. in 1991. Over his career, Prof. Zohuri has authored dozens of technical books and published over a hundred journal articles. He continues to pursue research in fields such as heat transfer, reactor design, computational methods, data mining, and AI-driven engineering solutions. Dr. Mehdi Abedi-Varaki is a senior researcher based at the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (CPST), Vilnius, specializing in plasma physics, laser‐matter interaction, and computational modelling. He holds a PhD, and has been active in various international and interdisciplinary research projects. His work includes studies on laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), terahertz radiation generation, and kinetic modeling in plasma environments. Dr. Abedi-Varaki has published over forty papers in peer-reviewed journals and has developed expertise with simulation tools and theoretical methods for non-linear interactions in high-intensity laser beams and magnetized plasmas. He also collaborates internationally and contributes to both foundational and application‐oriented research, such as plasma reactor technologies and advanced laser systems.
