Sentinel Devices CEO Named to Nuclear News “40 Under 40” List for Transformative Impact on Nuclear AI and Cybersecurity

‍

Sentinel Devices is proud to announce that its Founder and CEO, Dr. Forrest Shriver, has been named to Nuclear News’ prestigious “40 Under 40” list recognizing the next generation of leaders shaping the future of nuclear energy.

‍

Dr. Shriver, 29, has led Sentinel Devices in pioneering AI-driven, cybersecurity-focused instrumentation and control (I&C) technologies that enable safe, reliable, and intelligent operation of nuclear systems - entirely offline. His work bridges the gap between artificial intelligence and critical infrastructure, empowering nuclear operators to detect faults, anticipate failures, and defend against cyber threats without requiring internet connectivity.

‍

“AI can transform nuclear operations - not just through smarter analytics, but by making systems safer and more resilient,” said Dr. Shriver. “Our mission is to make that transformation possible, even in the most secure and isolated environments.”

‍

Sentinel Devices’ offline machine learning platform allows advanced diagnostics and anomaly detection to run locally, in real time, on the embedded systems that control reactors and other sensitive facilities. Sentinel Devices currently has contracts with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. Air Force, and leading nuclear vendors seeking next-generation digital modernization tools.

‍

Recognized among Georgia’s Top 40 Most Innovative Companies, Sentinel Devices represents a new model for how AI and nuclear can safely coexist. By designing AI systems that work without cloud dependencies, the company ensures that national security, safety, and data integrity remain uncompromised. Dr. Shriver's inclusion in Nuclear News’ 40 Under 40 underscores the fact that AI can make nuclear operations both smarter and safer without compromising on the industry's reputation for safety and reliability.

‍

As Sentinel Devices continues expanding its technology to support other critical infrastructure sectors - including power generation, ports, and defense -Dr. Shriver’s vision remains focused: to make AI indispensable to nuclear safety and reliability.
