2026 Davidson Fellow Praadhyumn Indaana was featured in The Times of India after receiving a $50,000 scholarship through the Davidson Fellows Scholarship Program. The article highlights Praadhyumn’s physics-guided artificial intelligence model, which improves predictions of critical heat flux—the point at which a nuclear reactor’s cooling process can begin to fail.
Using data from more than 10,000 experiments, Praadhyumn’s model reduced average prediction error from about 63% using conventional formulas to roughly 5.5%. His work could help engineers better understand critical safety limits and support more efficient production of carbon-free electricity without compromising reactor safety.
