Research Areas
- High performance computing applied to nuclear engineering and science (guaranteed solutions, goal-oriented computations, parallel techniques, and automated mesh refinement applied to multigroup neutron diffusion and transport equations).
- Time-adaptive, high-order accurate multiphysics coupling techniques applied to reactor safety and transient analyses.
- Reactor core and fuel assembly modeling and optimization for increased performance and geological repository optimization.
- Neutron and gamma inverse problems and computed tomography applied to homeland security needs.
