Anistratov partners in the NNSA-funded Center for Exascale Monte Carlo Neutron Transport

Congratulations to Dr. Dmitriy Anistratov, Professor of Nuclear Engineering at NC State University, he is a partner in the Center for Exascale Monte Carlo Neutron Transport (CEMeNT) led by the Oregon State University. Dr. Kelly from NC State Mathematics is also a partner. It is a 5-year, $4.3 million grant.

The US Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) as part of their Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP) III Centers funded 9 awardees.

“The PSAAP integrates modeling, simulation, and experiment in a manner that contributes to the nuclear security mission and prepares the next generation of scientists and engineers for careers in national security.”

Further details about the program is available here.

Anistratov research involves numerical methods for solving particle transport and radiative transfer problems. These kinds of problems arise in such areas as reactor physics, astrophysics, medical physics, geophysics, and atmospheric sciences. His interests include the development and analysis of iteration methods for the transport equation, discretization methods for partial differential equations, methods for solving transport equation coupled with equations of matter, and mathematical models of transport process in various physical systems.
