〈Name of award and short explanation about the award〉

Qian Sanqiang Award

Selected as a Winner in the ICONE32 Student Best Poster Competition.

〈About awarded research〉

For the paper (ICONE32-1665): Approximation of obtaining the neutron energy and the neutron flux from Joyo fast reactor for radioisotope production purposes. The meeting was held in-person on June 22-26, 2025, in Weihai, China. The event was sponsored by the Japan society of mechanical engineers (JSME), the Chinese nuclear society (CNS), and the American society of mechanical engineers (ASME).

〈Your impression & future plan〉

I am combining my interest in medical radioisotopes with a Generation IV design. Radionuclides not only treat cancer but are useful for nuclear medicine business. I take the opportunity of studying in Japan to develop specialized techniques which will help me to build something remarkable in Colombia.
