About Me

Nuclear Engineer • Reader • Amateur Writer • Wanderer • Believer • Life's Fan

Double Masters degree in Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Reactor Physics — undergraduate degree in Material Science — Interested in System Thermal Hydraulics, Reactor Physics, modelling and simulations — Experience in Fast Reactor as well as LWR modeling and simulation using RELAP5-3D — International, multi-cultural educational and work experience — An ardent believer of next generation of nuclear reactors and making the present generation safer — Worked on various Nuclear, entrepreneurial, energy related projects — This page is only for acquintance, kindly use my contact details for detailed information

When your life deals with subatomic particles, then a little bit of philosophy creeps in naturally. So, apart from being a nuclear engineer, I love to read books, scribe at times, wander around a lot, think about existence of life in general and its meaning in particular...

Work Experience

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

Associate Nuclear Engineer • June 2015 - Present • Vienna, Austria

Involved in two major projects:

Fast Reactor Technology Development:

Fostering international collaboration in the field of Fast Reactor technology development through the organization and coordination of Technical Meeting, Consultancy Meetings and Coordinated Research Projects — Coordinating the efforts of a diverse set of technical experts representing various member states, preparing technical documents, reports and other working material in a very dynamic and global work environment.
NOTE: Next biggest Fast Reactor conference: FR17

Educational Simulators Development and Management:

The IAEA develops and manages a suite of PC based educational nuclear power plant and part task simulators for use by its member states. They are free to use and can be obtained from the agency website upon request — I am responsible for management and development at the agency. Currently we are working on two new simulators - "Small Modular Reactor(iPWR)" and "Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor (SFR)" — We also organize regular training courses and workshops at different parts of the world. If you or your organization is interested in holding a educational simulator workshop in your country you can contact me.
