Research overview
Research focus
My research advances theoretical and computational methods for nuclear reactor analysis, with a focus on neutron transport, reactor kinetics, and multiphysics coupling. I am particularly interested in model reduction, quasi-static and transient formulations, and optimization methods for complex reactor systems. This work aims to bridge first-principles physics with efficient numerical tools, enabling accurate and scalable analysis of advanced and emerging nuclear technologies.
Core research areas
- Neutron transport theory and numerical methods
