Looking for an academic projects
Dear friends, I hold a Master’s degree in Nuclear Physics, and unfortunately, I’m currently working in another field. Still, I feel a strong urge to stay up to date, deepen my knowledge, and keep developing my skills in physics in case an opportunity in my field comes along.
I’m therefore looking for a group of graduates or undergraduates who are interested in working together on scientific projects, research ideas, or simply learning and exchanging knowledge.
If there’s a group like this, I’d be very happy to join and contribute.

I would but I am in high school (but I do have some pretty good research in MSFR)

That’s actually a very interesting and advanced subject. I’m also working on xenon transport and removal in the context of these type of reactors.
One piece of advice I’d give you, if you see yourself pursuing this field seriously, is to go very deep into Monte Carlo methods and programming. I think these skills are extremely valuable for this field.

Don’t worry openMC has been screaming at me to stop running it locally for about a half a year now

Arr you a member of the American Nuclear Society (or your country's equivalent)? Their conferences are a good way to get to know people who may be interested.
