March 29 - April 4, 2026 : Upadesh participated in the teaching-learning activities organized during European School on Nuclear Materials Science at Cargèse, Corsica, France. Participating, on behalf of the DENDRITEPHASE project research team, he presented the capabilities of the team in the multiphysics modeling techniques within Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) software.
The Phase field and Calphad modeling, have been implemented as a core methodology within the DENDRITEPHASE project for the modeling of the interface phenomena in the Lithium-ion battery, and the team members of the project are utilizing MOOSE software for performing the calphad integrated phase field simulations. Notably, MOOSE software has been considered as the most relevant software in the field of Nuclear Materials Science, and Phase Field Method.

As a research team member of the DENDRITEPHASE project, he demonstrated his capabilities in the field of phase field (L6) and Calphad modeling (L7). These modeling techniques have a very high importance in the areas of interface science, including but not limited to Lithium-ion dendrite growth phenomena, safety and reliability design for nuclear materials, etc.
