Dr. Cheng, Wen-Chi is a Modeling and Simulation Postdoctoral Research Associate at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). His works in INL involve (1) development of user-friendly HTSE hydrogen profitability tool to evaluate the value of nuclear-integrated hydrogen production, and (2) cost and benefits analysis for thermal energy storage options. Before he came to INL, Wen-Chi got his PhD from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in December 2022. His PhD thesis focused on Finite Element-Based Probabilistic Physics-of-Failure Analysis to Estimate Pipe Failure Rates for Risk Assessment of Nuclear Power Plants. The Finite Element-Based Probabilistic Physics-of-Failure Analysis is valuable to support PRA especially when (1) no relevant data is available at the component level, (2) the target geometry is complex, and (3) the failure mechanism of the target component involves complicated loading conditions. Before pursuing the PhD degree in 2016, Wen-Chi has more than three years experiences on computational fluid dynamic (CFD) for large scale simulations for pressure water reactor and fluorite salt cooled high temperature test reactors during the master program in National Tsing-Hua University and the visits in Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
