Dr. Carlo Parisi is a scientist with over 15 years of experience in academics and government laboratories. In 2004 he got a M.Sc. and in 2008 a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering at University of Pisa, Italy. In 2003 he has been visiting scholar at the Pennsylvania State University, USA. His area of expertise includes neutronics, thermal-hydraulics, uncertainty quantification and coupled codes technology. He completed his postdoctoral appointments at University of Pisa in 2010, where he developed and applied best-estimate plus uncertainty methods to nuclear power plants in operation (Smolensk-3 RBMK) and under construction (Atucha-2 PHWR). From 2011 to 2015 he has been researcher at ENEA “Casaccia” Research Center, Rome, Italy, where he worked on Generation IV Sodium Fast Reactors. From 2004 to 2015 he has also been involved in several OECD/NEA and IAEA international research projects on coupled codes assessment.  Since October 2015 he performs researches at the Idaho National Laboratory, USA, working on risk-informed methods development (US DOE LWRS/RISMC project), RELAP5-3D code assessment and safety analyses of Versatile Test Reactor. He is member of the American Nuclear Society and licensed Italian Professional Engineer since 2004.
