Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhuoran Han is a quantitative researcher with eight years of experience bridging computational nuclear engineering, machine learning, and quantitative finance, currently based in Cambridge and working at 伯兄投资 (Berkeley Brothers). Trained at MIT (MS) and with dual undergraduate backgrounds from Shanghai Jiao Tong and University of Michigan, he has deep expertise in Monte Carlo simulation, functional expansions, and numerical methods applied to reactor physics and alpha research. His open-source contributions to the widely used OpenMC project—adding radial Zernike polynomial support and Python/C API bindings—demonstrate an ability to move advanced math from research into production-grade scientific software. Past roles span industry and national labs, including NLP work at WeChat and research at Argonne, reflecting a rare combination of domain breadth and hands-on code development. Colleagues rely on him for translating sophisticated mathematical ideas into reliable implementations that inform both modeling and trading strategies.

Contributions summary:Zhuoran's contributions primarily involve implementing and integrating new features related to Zernike polynomial filters within the OpenMC Monte Carlo code. They added new math functions for calculating radial Zernike polynomials and developed a new tally filter for radial Zernike expansion. Furthermore, the user incorporated C API functions to support the new filter, along with the Python bindings. These changes enhanced the code's functionality by providing users with the ability to calculate moments with radial dependencies.
