Assistant Teaching Professor, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge

Paul Cosgrove is an assistant teaching professor at the Engineering Department working on nuclear reactor simulation and design. His work focuses on the improvement and use of high-fidelity nuclear simulation tools: the broad theme is to better understand powerful Monte Carlo methods while making them more practical for routine analysis of fission and fusion systems. To this end, he is one of the co-developers of SCONE, an open-source Monte Carlo radiation transport code, used by the majority of researchers in the Nuclear Energy group. Other research interests include the design of novel, more economical nuclear reactors and the tritium supply chain for fusion.
