CNERG / Members of CNERG Community Kalin R. Kiesling PhD Dissertator, US NRC Fellow, Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellow kkiesling@wisc.edu krkiesling@gmail.com Graduate Appointment I am currently developing tools to generate weight window isosurface geometries that can be used for novel variance reduction methods in Monte Carlo radiation transport. I am also involved in software development on various projects and enjoy mentoring new students in research. When not focusing on my graduate research, I am busy being a mother to my toddler daughter and working on various crafting or other creative projects.
