Senior🎓
Top SchoolStuart Blair is a Thermal Hydraulic Research Engineer and former career Naval Officer with 13 years of technical and leadership experience bridging nuclear operations, research, and undergraduate engineering education. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and advanced nuclear degrees from MIT, and has taught 11 distinct courses—four newly developed—across reactor physics, thermal hydraulics, CFD and numerical methods, earning an award for excellence in engineering education. Practically experienced as a submarine reactor operator and depot-level project manager, he has overseen 40,000+ man-days of nuclear system repairs and built long-term maintenance budgets and schedules for US submarines. His research blends scientific computing (MPI, CUDA, MATLAB, Python, C++) with multi-physics tools (MCNP/OpenMC, COMSOL, ANSYS, MOOSE) focused on fluid-structure interaction and reactor thermal hydraulics. Comfortable in government, industry, or academia, he combines operational rigor with a proven ability to translate complex simulations into actionable engineering and to mentor the next generation of naval engineers.
