Dr. Nicolas Martin is a reactor physicist at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) since 2019.

His research interests include the design of novel, advanced nuclear reactor concepts, with a focus on the development, deployment and validation of innovative computational analysis schemes for advanced nuclear reactors using the Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) framework and its different main codes such as Griffin, BISON, and THM. His expertise also includes performing radiation transport analyses using Monte Carlo methods for both fission and fusion reactor applications.

From 2011 to 2019, he worked as a R&D codes and methods engineer at Framatome, in charge of developing advanced computational core analyses codes for Boiling Water Reactor fleet in the United States as well as in Europe. He was the technical leader for the ARCADIA-BWR core analysis code package with technical duties ranging from code development of the key neutronics modules, perform the internal coupling with depletion solvers, subchannel thermal-hydraulics and fuel performance models, as well as code verification and validation using actual operation cycles and preparation of licensing topical reports to the US NRC.
