Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Skutnik is an R&D staff reactor analyst at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a joint associate professor of nuclear engineering with 11 years of experience bridging high-fidelity computational modeling and policy-relevant nuclear research. He leads development of ORIGAMI, an interface to the ORIGEN depletion code, and applies coupled depletion and fuel-cycle modeling to improve safeguards, proliferation resistance assessments, and waste-management evaluations for advanced reactor systems. His work spans isotopic inventory and severe-accident source-term analysis for non-light-water reactors as well as computational design of safeguards for next-generation fuel-cycle facilities. Previously he published on radiation-induced single-event effects in digital logic, giving him an uncommon blend of detector electronics and fuel-cycle modeling expertise. Based in Knoxville, he combines academic teaching and large-lab R&D to move complex nuclear analysis tools from research into licensing and verification workflows.
