Biography

Pierre-Clément (PC) Simon joined INL as a computational materials scientist in March 2021. Pierre-Clément works with the Bison group and the lower length scale group at INL to develop multi-scale, multi-physics approaches. He applies his expertise to understand nuclear materials behavior in a variety of systems such as LWRs, advanced reactors, and fusion reactors.

Prior to joining INL, PC graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Motta and Dr. Tonks in 2021. Before that, he obtained an M.Sc. in Engineering Science from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon in France in 2018, an M.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University in 2017, and a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from the University Claude Bernard de Lyon in France in 2014.
