Vefa Kucukboyaci

Dr. Kucukboyaci is working as a fellow engineer within the PWR Core Methods group of the Westinghouse Methods & Technology Department. He is currently engaged with the CASL program to assess improved capabilities of the multi-scale T/H codes and models. He has been a key technical leader and Westinghouse liaison to the CASL program, instrumental in the success of the DNB challenge problem. He has been performing first-of-a-kind full core steady-state and transient simulations using the CASL multi-physics tools, as well providing support and direction to partner teams at the national labs. With an internally supported program, he is leading the efforts to leverage CASL technology within Westinghouse for use of high order methods and multi‐physics analysis in the long-term.
