Expertise
The competence profile focuses on decision support in complex systems: analysis, simulation, model development, and documentation with emphasis on traceability.
Wording and examples are intentionally kept general due to confidentiality.
Core expertise at a glance
- Dynamic analysis: operating changes, transients, off-normal scenarios, and root-cause support.
- Model development: structure, parameterization, calibration, and quality assurance.
- Safety/Risk: assumptions, sensitivity, plausibility checks, and review packages.
- Automation: runs, result collection, and report generation.
- Pedagogy: technical material, example models, and training support.
- Technical communication: clear reports, appendices, figures/tables, and structured narratives.
Full-scope simulators and reactor models
Experience includes development and maintenance of full-scope simulators for energy production facilities, including model integration, logic, and testability within simulator platforms.
Specialisation includes building and quality-assuring reactor models using RELAP5-3D and S3R, with emphasis on traceable assumptions, reproducible runs, and review-ready deliverables.
Delivery capability
- Structured reports: clear layout, appendices, tables, and figures.
- Reproducible packages: scripts/notebooks/Excel when appropriate.
- Review readiness: explicit assumptions, version IDs, and traceable inputs.
- Risk-based QA: from rapid expert support to expanded verification/peer review.
Tools & ways of working
Deliveries are adapted to client environments and requirements. Typical formats and tools include:
- Python (scripts), Jupyter Notebooks, Excel/VBA
- Model-based tools (e.g., Modelica/OpenModelica) when appropriate
- Version control, run logging, and change logs when needed
- Reporting in PDF/DOCX with appendices, tables, figures, and traceability
Assignments are always scoped with confidentiality and conflict-of-interest considerations.
