About

I am a keen nuclear physicist taking my first step in the nuclear industry. Having achieved a First-class degree in BSc Theoretical Physics, and now expecting to achieve a distinction in MSc Nuclear Science and Technology, my areas of interest include reactor physics, radiation shielding and reactor-systems modelling. My MSc dissertation was titled “Investigation of Fuel-Pin Pitch Effects on the Neutronic Behaviour of the OECD 1000 MWth MOX Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor Benchmark”, in which I employed the Serpent neutron transport code to model and investigate a sodium-cooled fast reactor.
