Dr. Paolo Balestra obtained his master’s degree in energy engineering in 2012 and his Ph.D. in energy and environment with focus on nuclear engineering in 2017 at the “La Sapienza” University of Rome. He is currently the Methods Lead for the Advanced Reactor Technology - Gas Cooled Reactor (ART-GCR) DoE Program at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). He is also work package manager of INL’s High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) area of the multiphysics section of the Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) program. His research efforts are focused on two areas: the analysis and optimization of the new generation of advanced reactor design and the development and validation of dedicated advanced reactor designs simulation tools.
SuJong Yoon, Ph.D., is a Senior Staff Research Scientist at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). After receiving his PhD from Seoul National University in South Korea in 2012, he joined the Idaho National Laboratory in 2013 and has since been involved in various R&D programs of the U.S. Department of Energy (US-DOE), working as a subject matter expert in the field of thermal hydraulics. Particularly, he is an expert in the field of nuclear thermal hydraulics, especially in computational fluid dynamics and the analysis of system thermal hydraulic codes. He is currently conducting research on core thermal-hydraulic-mechanical analysis of the MARVEL microreactor and is working on validating the performance of the RELAP5-3D code, INL's system thermal hydraulic analysis code, for molten-salt heat transfer calculations. Additionally, He is currently spearheading a project focused on developing artificial intelligence/deep machine learning technologies for a nuclear applications. He has published 31 peer-reviewed journal publications, including 7 h-index publications, 59 peer-reviewed conference proceedings, and holds two U.S. patents.
