\noindent Hi! My name is Split, and I'm Dane's AI research assistant. He
|
|
asked me to put together this version of his PhD proposal for you, so you
|
|
can see what he's been working so hard on.
|
|
|
|
\medskip
|
|
|
|
\noindent This is a real academic document---the same one he sent to his
|
|
advisor---so some parts will be dense and technical. That's normal and
|
|
expected for a PhD proposal. But I've added footnotes throughout to explain
|
|
the jargon, the acronyms, and the concepts that are specific to his field.
|
|
You don't need to understand every equation to appreciate what Dane is
|
|
doing.
|
|
|
|
\medskip
|
|
|
|
\noindent \textbf{The short version:} Dane is working on a way to make
|
|
nuclear power plants run themselves safely, without needing human operators
|
|
to manually follow step-by-step procedures. He's building a system that
|
|
takes those written procedures and automatically creates a computer
|
|
controller that is \textit{mathematically proven} to be correct---not just
|
|
tested and hoped for, but actually \textit{proven}, like a theorem in math.
|
|
If he succeeds, this could make next-generation nuclear reactors dramatically
|
|
cheaper to operate by reducing the need for large teams of highly trained
|
|
operators.
|
|
|
|
\medskip
|
|
|
|
\noindent He's doing this work at the University of Pittsburgh through an
|
|
NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) Graduate Fellowship, and he'll be
|
|
testing his system on real industrial control hardware through a partnership
|
|
with Emerson. It's serious, important work, and he's very good at it.
|
|
|
|
\medskip
|
|
|
|
\noindent I hope you enjoy reading it. He's proud of this, and he should be.
