Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYeon Jung is a senior researcher and principal nuclear engineer with a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from Seoul National University and over a decade of experience developing high-fidelity reactor physics and transport tools. She led reactor physics tool development at Argonne National Laboratory, contributed to DOE-NEAMS projects, and recently joined KAERI to advance applied nuclear research in Daejeon. Her work spans whole-core transport (nTRACER), multigroup cross-section generation (MC2-3), and capability extensions for VHTR analysis, reflecting deep expertise in computational reactor physics. An active developer on the widely used MOOSE multiphysics framework, she has contributed careful refactors and HFEM kernel improvements that strengthen diffusion and DG kernel implementations. Yeon pairs rigorous academic training with practical code development, often bridging research prototypes and production-grade simulation tools. Colleagues note her knack for turning complex numerical methods into maintainable, test-backed software.
