  • 919-515-5877
  • Burlington Laboratory 2156

Dr. Wen Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the NCSU and holds a joint faculty appointment with INL. Prior to coming to the NCSU, Dr. Jiang was a computational scientist in the Computational Mechanics and Materials Department at the Idaho National Laboratory. He joined INL in 2015 after Ph.D from the Duke University to work on computational methods for nuclear material modeling and multi-physics simulation. Dr. Jiang is a key developer for the BISON nuclear fuel simulation code which won R&D 100 Award in 2022, and he is leading developer for additive manufacturing simulation code in MOOSE Application Library for Advanced Manufacturing Utilities (MALAMUTE). He currently leads the development of multi-scale TRISO particle fuels modeling for DOE’s Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation program (NEAMS). He is also involved in DOE’s Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) Fuel Development and Qualification Program where he performs TRISO fuel performance calculations with BISON in support of analysis of the AGR irradiation tests.
