Expérience professionnelle

Imperial_College London

Imperial College London

Temps plein • 7 yrs 3 mos

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Jul 2023 - Nov 2025 • 2 yrs 4 mos

Uses the discrete dislocation plasticity (DDP) model to simulate and better understand problem delayed hydride cracking (DHC) in fuel rods in nuclear reactors. Conducted advanced computational modelling research on irradiation hardening and delayed hydride cracking in zirconium alloys.

Researcher

Nov 2020 - Oct 2025 • 4 yrs 11 mos

Worked on EPSRC- and Rolls-Royce-funded projects focused on improving safety and performance of nuclear fuel systems. Developed simulation frameworks using Discrete Dislocation Plasticity (DDP), Abaqus, Python, and Fortran. Analysed defect-dislocation interactions and material deformation mechanisms.
