Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAdriaan Riet is a Chemical Engineer and Principal Investigator at Idaho National Laboratory with 10 years of experience applying automation, process controls, and programming to experimental and simulation-driven problems. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and combines hands-on high-pressure experiments, surface analysis, and classical molecular dynamics with practical software development. At INL he leads nuclear fuel systems research while contributing backend C++ work to the MOOSE multiphysics framework, implementing and testing Arrhenius-based material properties and improving code quality. His background includes building database-driven web systems and instrumentation models, reflecting an uncommon blend of lab, field, and full-stack engineering. Comfortable moving between experiments and code, he focuses on robust, testable solutions that translate fundamental principles into deployable tools. Based in Idaho Falls, he brings both academic rigor and pragmatic product-minded engineering to complex energy challenges.
