My research is focused on applying both experimental and computational methods to better understand the corrosion product transport behaviour in power plant systems. This includes the use of bench-scale experiments, flow-through loops, and thermal-hydraulic and activity transport modelling to simulate primary- and secondary-side nuclear plant chemistry conditions. I am also a part of the Centre for Nuclear Energy Research (CNER), which allows for extensive collaboration with both industry partners and other researchers in the nuclear field at UNB.
