This researcher studies the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants, with a particular focus on 'passive safety systems' - reactor components that rely on natural forces like gravity and natural circulation of coolant, rather than pumps, to keep reactors safe during accidents. Their work combines experimental studies of heat and fluid flow with statistical and computational methods (including deep learning) to assess how reliable these systems are and to improve accident monitoring and response. Much of the research addresses advanced reactor designs such as the AP1000 and focuses on scenarios like loss of heat sink events and severe accidents.
Publication output has been steady over the past decade, generally ranging between one and four papers per year with a slight increase in recent years (averaging about two per year over the last five years).
