Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLane Carasik is an assistant professor and director of the FAST Research Group at Virginia Commonwealth University with a decade of experience in thermal fluids and CFD method development for advanced energy systems. He combines hands-on experimental work and high-fidelity CFD to tackle fluid dynamics and heat transfer challenges in nuclear and next-generation reactor designs, having contributed to industry projects at Kairos Power and USNC. Lane also has experience running a university high-performance research computing core, bridging computational infrastructure and research needs. His work is grounded in a PhD in Nuclear Engineering and a steady record of collaborative research spanning national labs and international institutions, reflecting both practical design experience and rigorous verification/validation practice. An uncommon strength is his parallel focus on documentation and developer-focused tooling—evident from leading MOOSEdocs-based documentation for TRICORDER—helping translate complex simulation capabilities into usable engineering tools.
