Founding dean of Missouri S&T’s Kummer College, James D. Sterling, sat down with Joshua Schlegel, associate professor and associate chair of nuclear engineering and radiation science, to discuss why nuclear power is making a comeback and what its resurgence means for the future of energy.
In this interview, Purohit explains why ultrasonic technology is rising as a dominant solution for gas-flow applications and how engineering teams can approach measurement as a tool not just for accountability but also for operational excellence.
Microgrids are no longer niche innovations—they have become a foundational component of modern energy infrastructure. Realizing their full potential will require targeted policy reform, clearer regulatory frameworks, and greater access to innovative financing models.
