Research summary

Richard Vasques works on mathematical and computational methods for particle transport, which describes how neutrons or other particles move and scatter through materials such as reactor cores or biological tissue. His work focuses on developing and testing approximate equations (like SPN and diffusion-based models) that make these calculations faster and more accurate, particularly in materials with random or non-uniform structure. This research supports applications in nuclear reactor physics, radiation shielding, and other fields where predicting particle behavior is important.
