The primary outcome of my PhD thesis was the extension and validation of the KIKO3DMG nodal code for dynamic analyses of fast reactors and multi-physics analysis of an unprotected transient of a gas-cooled fast reactor. It resulted in four peer-reviewed publications and four conference papers.

I built and trained recurrent neural network (LSTM) models for water level forecasting of the River Tisza, achieving state-of-the-art predictive performance. This collaboration with the University of Szeged and Water Management Directorate resulted in a research publication.

I developed machine learning and computer vision-based algorithms in Python and C++ for an automated invoice processing system. I gained experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and utilization of cloud-based APIs.

During my master’s and PhD studies, I taught practical nuclear and neutron physics courses and supervised laboratory measurements such as gamma spectroscopy and neutron flux measurement for engineers and physicists.

Reactor Analysis Department

I partially conducted my MSc thesis research at MTA EK while I was working on ALLEGRO GFR core neutronics calculations.
