Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMoataz Harb is an R&D Associate Staff Member at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and 12 years of experience spanning academia and national labs. He specializes in advanced computational radiation transport using both deterministic and Monte Carlo methods, alongside variance reduction techniques and CAD-based modeling for complex reactor and shielding designs. His Ph.D. work produced new theory and tools for error propagation in activation and shutdown dose rate calculations, bridging rigorous research with practical engineering workflows. Moataz has hands-on experience supporting shielding designs and shutdown dose assessments, skills honed during a postdoctoral tenure at KIT and graduate research at UW–Madison. Based in Oak Ridge, he combines deep technical expertise with experience mentoring students as a former teaching assistant, making him effective at translating complex simulation methods into usable tools for multidisciplinary teams. Colleagues describe him as a methodical problem-solver who brings both theoretical rigor and pragmatic solutions to radiation transport and activation challenges.
