I was part of a team which provides computational support for our research organization focused on improving energy production and carbon sequestration. Specifically I focused on our physics based simulation problems or machine learning problems. I leveraged my experience with high performance computing (parallel computing with MPI, Linux, C++), algorithmic design (Python, Data Structures, Analysis), and software engineering (DevOps, Design Patterns, Architecture) to accelerate our research directions. I also lead a self-study group focused on improving the parallel computing skills of my team and gave several seminars on the same subject.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Oak Ridge National Lab
Jun 2017 - Jan 2019
Knoxville, TN
Developing coupling strategies for physics codes under the NEAMS (Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation) program. Performing a similar role in the CASL (Consortium for the Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors) to better predict the pellet-clad interaction under normal operation. Provided infrastructure support for the SCALE code system.

Project: To build a multiphysics framework within the APOLLO3 software package. The framework will use matrix-free methods and will support coupling between neutron transport and thermal hydraulics.
Education
Université Paris-Saclay
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Nuclear Physics
Oct 2013 - Oct 2016
Saclay, France
Built a multiphysics framework for the APOLLO3® core analysis code. Along the way, I found that homogenization can have a significant impact on the final solution if special treatment is not considered for the time-dependent nature of the simulation.
