Summary
Yuefeng Qiu is a permanent researcher and senior neutronics analyst with 17 years of experience in fusion and neutron physics, holding a PhD from KIT and deep involvement in ITER, DEMO and the IFMIF-DONES program since 2015. He blends hands-on code development in C++ and Python (over 50k lines written) with full-stack nuclear analysis skills—modeling, transport, activation, shielding, meshing, visualization and multiphysics coupling—to solve complex geometry and variance-reduction challenges. As IFMIF-DONES neutronics coordinator for EUROfusion he managed large multinational teams and resources, acted as EU–Japan contact for BA-II, and advised on international nuclear data (IAEA FENDL), demonstrating rare project leadership across institutions. Now deputy group leader at KIT, he bridges state-of-the-art neutronic simulation and software engineering to deliver reliable facility designs and radiation-protection solutions. An underappreciated strength is his knack for translating domain physics into practical auxiliary tools that accelerate analysis workflows and reduce uncertainty in source-term and material-damage assessments.
