State Variable-Based Observation, Automatic Control, And Analysis of Pressurized Water Reactor Steam Generator Steam Pressure (Graduation Project), Spring 2017
- Developed and simulated a simplified lumped-parameter PWR model using Simulink ®, then used the model to design a steam pressure state-feedback regulator and compared it to a conventional PI controller.
Automatic Control And Analysis of PWR.pdfEstimating Ion-Irradiation-Induced hardening of Nuclear Fuel Clad Using SRIM, Fall 2016
- Used the Monte Carlo based code, SRIM ®, to investigate and compare the radiation damage due to ion-irradiation-induced hardening between Zircaloy-4 and AISI 348.
Tools: James Ziegler - SRIM & TRIM, as well as Matlab for Data Analysis.
Estimating Ion-Irradiation-Induced hardening.pdfEffects of Spacer-Grid Mixing Vanes on the Flow in a PWR 5x5 Rod Bundle, Summer 2016
- Simulated a PWR rod bundle using the CFD code, ANSYS Fluent ®, to study the effects of mixing vanes on the flow hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics.
Tools: ANSYS Fluent Software for CFD Simulation & Pointwise for Mesh Generation, as well as Matlab for Data Analysis.
Effects of Spacer-Grid Mixing Vanes.pdfEffects of Spacer-Grid Mixing Vanes - Presentation.pptxLateral velocity vectors as a function of axial distance from the spacer-grid.
Lateral velocity vectors as a function of axial distance further downstream the spacer-grid.
Geometric Effects of 45-Deg Elbow in Horizontal Bubbly Flow (Team Project), Fall 2015
- Used the data obtained from an experiment to investigate the effects of a 45-deg elbow on the development and distribution of local two-phase flow parameters in horizontal bubbly flow.
Tools: Microsoft Excel for Data Analysis and Visualization.
Geometric Effects of 45-Deg Elbow in Horizontal Bubbly Flow.pdfHealth Physics Applied to Space Travel, Fall 2015
- Studied the feasibility of a manned mission to Mars by investigating space radiation environment, biological effects resulting from such exposure, and current related regulations.

The Facts behind Three Mile Island Accident (Capstone Project), Fall 2014
- Investigated the accident events, aftermath, causes, and the adequacy of corrective actions taken.
- Delivered an oral presentation about the accident cleanup efforts.
