Mahmood Ghazanfar

Analytical Principal Scientist in Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission with over 14 years of progressive experience conducting deterministic safety analysis of nuclear power plants and core neutronics using Monte Carlo methods. Successful at implementing research strategies and development of Reactor Monte Carlo (RMC) being developed at Reactor Engineering and Analysis LAB (REAL), Department of Engineering Physics, Tsinghua University during my Ph.D. studies with Nuclear Science and Technology expertise. Also, developed a facility for simulation of stochastic materials in RMC and performed full core analysis of VVER-1000 reactor using Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated fuel. Ready to apply talents to rewarding new opportunity.
