Postdoctoral Research Associate in Materials Science and Physics at University of Oxford University of Oxford in United Kingdom

PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia, School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics, on developing a finite element based model for pellet relocation in nuclear reactor fuel. The project focuses on pellet-clad interaction (PCI) in nuclear fuel performance, with emphasis on modelling fuel pellet fragments, inertial behaviour, chemical species migration, and loss-of-coolant accident scenarios. The work compares and benchmarks modelling approaches in Abaqus and COMSOL, including the mo...
