Huff, an assistant professor of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering (NPRE) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, touched on subjects that included
- why she was attracted to nuclear engineering,
- how nuclear power plants produce electricity,
- what the NPRE Department has to offer students,
- and what careers are available for nuclear engineers.
