Who is Ramzy?
I am a dedicated nuclear engineer with strong foundation of research and development, project management, and teamwork illustrated over a successful academic career. Hardworking with voracious appetite for knowledge. Have more than 10 years of experience in institutional settings, and more than 4 years hands-on experience performing computational modeling and simulation for the nuclear industry sector. Proven history of success in nuclear reactor analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research with strong knowledge base in nuclear engineering.
WHAT I DO?
I develop codes for Nuclear Reactors Analysis
And I use them to conduct numerical experiments!
Moose Shape Optimization Modules
Working on a research project in collaboration with INL national laboratory, I focus on the NEAMS (Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation) framework and specifically, MOOSE (Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment). The aim is to add a shape optimization framework to MOOSE, which would enhance the development of new tools and capabilities for reactor design and analysis.
Peebles Bed Reactor Analysis Using VSOP and HBC Codes
In his research, I collaborate with my colleagues to build an uncertainty quantification tool for HTGRs. HTGRs are important for improving the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of nuclear energy in the US. This research will contribute to the development of pilot designs that are approved by the Department of Energy.
Homogeneous Molten Salt Reactor Analysis Using GeN-Foam
I also have used the GeN-Foam code to simulate and design molten salt reactors (MSRs). I collaborated with Southern Company to simulate the liquid fuel MSR design. This advanced reactor design is important for improving the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of nuclear energy in the US and could be a way to benefit from nuclear waste to the maximum efficiency!
Multiphysics Analysis with CRANE Code
Our state-of-the-art research includes developing a tool for Multiphysics analyses and Uncertainty Quantification called CRANE based on the codes-system (CTF/CTFFuel/RAVEN/NEM). I developed the coupling of both CTF/CTFFuel and NEM based on the MPI message coupling interface.
Adjoint Perturbation Analysis and Computations Acceleration
I was involved during my PhD work on utilizing adjoint perturbation analysis as a powerful tool for sensitivity analysis and optimization in nuclear reactors analysis under a project funded by Framatome. This mathematical technique allows for the efficient computation of the sensitivity of a given output variable with respect to many input variables. The adjoint methodology developed resulted in a significant reduction in computational time and has allowed for the simulation of large perturbations with high accuracy and speed.
Julia for Enhancing Nuclear Engineering Simulations
In addition to my work in reactor design and analysis, I am also passionate about education and training for the nuclear workforce. I am currently developing the “julia for enhancing nuclear engineering simulations” (JENES) project to create accessible educational materials and training programs using the Julia computer language. These resources will support the growth and advancement of the nuclear energy sector and its workforce.
