Professor Roberts and his Computation and Optimization for Reactor Physics Simulation (CORPS) Group perform research in computational reactor physics. A primary focus of his current work is the development and analysis of high-fidelity benchmark experiments for validation of next-generation numerical models. Other work has led to novel algorithms for reactor physics calculations on a variety of computer architectures.
Prof. Roberts specializes in radiation interaction effects and reactor analysis, and presently works with SMART lab personnel on reactor instrumentation analysis.
