Internationally Sought Expert in Advanced Reactors and Small Modular Reactors | Strategy and Engineering Consultant | Advanced Nuclear Engineering SpecialistWith over a decade of experience in advanced nuclear technology, I am passionate about driving innovation and making a significant impact in the nuclear energy sector. Now, I am channeling my expertise into a new venture in stealth mode, focused on enabling nuclear advancements.Previously, as Chief Technology Officer at TerraPraxis and LucidCatalyst I worked on large-scale deployment strategies for nuclear energy. Prior to this, worked as a project officer for advanced reactor technologies at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Experienced in planning, budgeting, and implementing a diverse set of international projects, and have strong engineering, research, technical, and project management proficiency. As a subject matter expert, I possess in-depth knowledge of nuclear reactor design, safety, and technology development. My advanced degrees in Nuclear Engineering and Nuclear Reactor Physics, complemented by research experience in neutronics and thermal hydraulics, underpin my technical and project management proficiency.As the first scientific secretary for the IAEA’s platform on SMRs, I coordinated the development of the IAEA’s medium-term strategy for near-term deployment of SMRs and the international SMR Coordination and Resource Portal for Information Exchange, Outreach, and Networking (SCORPION). I also led the IAEA’s activities on codes and standards, design engineering, and manufacturing of components for SMRs, and served on several international scientific committees, regularly providing technical insights.When your life deals with subatomic particles, then a little bit of philosophy comes in naturally. So, apart from being a nuclear engineer, I love to read books, scribe at times, wander around a lot, think about the existence of life in general and its meaning in particular...
