- Biography
Dr. Ryan Sweet is a Senior Modeling and Simulation Engineer in the Computational Mechanics and Materials Department and the Research and Development Lead for the BISON fuel performance code at Idaho National Laboratory. His work focuses on the development of advanced models in order to assess the thermomechanical performance and behavior of fuels and components under irradiation for a variety of reactor designs and scenarios (ATF fuel concepts, LOCA analysis, and TRISO compact modeling, in particular).
Prior to his tenure at INL, Dr. Sweet served as R&D Staff at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the Advanced Reactor Systems Engineering Group.
