Nadish Saini
Nuclear Engineer
Biography
Nadish Saini received his Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from North Carolina State University in 2020. He joined Argonne as a postdoctoral researcher the same year, and has served as a staff scientist in the Nuclear Science and Engineering division at Argonne since 2022. His research encompasses high-fidelity computational modeling of nuclear thermal hydraulics for advanced fission and fusion reactors. He leads the development of interface capturing methods in NekRS code, enabling GPU accelerated computation of multiphase flows on high-performance computing systems.
