Summary
Vik Singh is Chief Innovation Officer with 9 years of experience advancing molten-salt reactor concepts, specializing in thorium fuel-cycle designs that aim to eliminate transuranic waste through low-pressure, high-temperature, passively safe systems. He combines a strong physics and astronomy foundation with a Master's in Nuclear Engineering and hands-on research modeling reactor dynamics, neutronics, and radiation source terms using MATLAB-Simulink and Monte Carlo tools. Vik has moved from academic research and teaching into leadership at Curio LV, bringing practical MSR development experience from roles at Flibe Energy and the University of Tennessee. Notably, he leverages an astrophysics background—published research on quasar black hole mass estimation—to approach nuclear design problems with a data-driven, systems-level perspective. Based in Washington, D.C., he is an MSR enthusiast who blends theoretical rigor with applied innovation to align reactor behavior with dynamic grid needs.
