Compact Neutron Imaging System for Nondestructive Nuclear Waste Analysis
In this project I developed a novel image reconstruction algorithm to fit the demands of a compact neutron imaging system; specifically, the reconstruction of a divergent neutron beam. Radioactive waste has to undergo a process of quality checking...

Stochastic Modeling of Neutron Point Kinetics
The neutron point kinetics equations describe time-dependent reactor behavior, capturing power fluctuations during operations such as control rod motion at startup and shutdown. Standard formulations are deterministic, yielding only mean populatio...

Integral Transport Methods for 2-D Neutron Transport Problems
Discrete ordinates methods for neutral particle transport introduce ray effects, numerical artifacts arising from the discretization of the angular variable. Integral transport methods avoid this by eliminating angular variables entirely through i...

Neutron Source Optimization in Accelerator-Driven Subcritical Systems
Accelerator-driven subcritical systems (ADS) rely on an external spallation neutron source to sustain the fission chain reaction. Controlling the spatial distribution of that source is critical to achieving a prescribed power density profile while...

Multiphysics Modeling for Radiation Therapy
Combined hyperthermia-radiotherapy (CHR) exploits a feedback mechanism between heat and radiation: elevated tumor temperature enhances radiosensitivity, altering the dose-response relationship in ways that other clinical tools do not capture. This...

High-Fidelity Acceleration Algorithms
Accelerating the iterative convergence of high-fidelity discrete ordinates (SN) transport calculations is a central challenge in reactor safety analysis and licensing work. Standard methods each carry significant limitations. The Quasidiffusion (Q...
