• 

  Tsinghua University

  Aug 2006 - Jan 2012

  Assistant researcher

  Study on the basic coupling method of neutronics and T-H, including the way of coupling, the cross section update and the transient coupling scheme, and basic coupling approach based on the CFD code CFX; Research on the coupling method of MCNP5 and CFX based on a single fuel rod model and a 3×3 rod bundle model; Research on the coupling of MCNP5 and CFX based on a Pebble Bed-Advanced High Temperature Reactor (PB-AHTR) validated compared with the results of the coupling of MCNP5 and RELAP5-3D.

  Exchange student

  Succeeded to accomplish the research on pulse source experiment facility and develop a reactor core simulator for the facility.

• 

  UC Berkeley

  Apr 2009 - Mar 2010

  Visiting scholar

  Succeeded to establish the neutronics and thermal-hydraulics core models of the next generation nuclear power plant, PB-AHTR, using MCNP and RELAP5 and develop the interface code using PERL script language to complete the coupled calculation.
