Expertise Generation-IV fast reactors, advanced modeling, coupled neutronics and thermal hydraulics, sodium boiling Paul Scherrer Institut Fast Reactors Group LeaderLaboratory for Reactor Physics and Systems BehaviourNuclear Energy and Safety DepartmentOHSA/D115232 Villigen PSISwitzerlandE-mail: konstantin.mikityuk@psi.chTel: +41 56 310 23 85 Since 1992 I have been involved in research of safety-related aspects of various nuclear reactors with fast neutron spectrum: first at Russian Kurchatov Institute and then at Swiss Paul Scherrer Institute. My current interests are safety analysis of sodium-cooled fast reactor, in particular neutronics and thermal-hydraulic aspects of sodium boiling.Memberships Representative of Switzerland in Generation-IV International Forum (GIF)Co-chair of GIF Education and Training Task ForceRepresentative of Switzerland in International Atomic Energy Agency Technical Working Group on Fast Reactors (IAEA TWG-FR) Education PhD in Nuclear Power Facilities | Development and application of a complex transient code for fast reactors with lead-based coolant 1999 – 2002 PostGraduate School of Russian Research Сentre “Kurchatov Institute”, Moscow, Russia MS in Nuclear Engineering | Thesis on development and testing of advanced fuel thermal model 1984 – 1992 Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Russia Professionals experiences Advanced Nuclear Systems Group Leader 2018–2018 Paul Scherrer InstitutFast Reactors Group Leader 2007–2018 Paul Scherrer InstitutResearcher 2002–2007 Paul Scherrer InstitutResearcher 1992–2002 RRC “Kurchatov Institute”, Moscow, Russia Teaching & PhD PhD Students Diego Mondaray Muñoz, Alessio Rossi, Julia Janina Swiatkowska Past EPFL PhD Students Rodrigo Gonzalez Gonzaga De Oliveira, Janos Bodi, Mohamed Aly Hashem Mohamed Sayed, Vincenzo Anthony Di Nora Past EPFL PhD Students as codirector Vladimir Vladimirov Brankov
