Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVasileios Kyriakopoulos is a computational scientist specializing in thermal-hydraulics with a PhD and MS from Texas A&M and a mechanical engineering diploma from NTUA. With three years of focused experience at Idaho National Laboratory, he develops and validates subchannel and multi-physics modules within the MOOSE framework for reactor applications, bridging code development, verification, and experimental validation. His background uniquely combines hands-on lab work (LIF/PIV experiments and LOCA-related testing) with advanced code coupling and solver implementation, including integrating subchannel codes with fuel performance tools like BISON. Comfortable in both research and applied industry settings, he seeks to advance U.S. laboratory or industrial projects in nuclear or mechanical engineering. An earlier career in mechanical service and field engineering and a stint as a commanding officer in the Hellenic Army contribute practical problem-solving, leadership, and systems-thinking to his technical work.
