Benjamin Rouben

Benjamin Rouben is an Adjunct Professor in the School of Engineering Physics at McMaster University, Canada. His career spans over five decades, focusing on nuclear reactor physics and computational modeling for CANDU reactors, with 15 recent publications (2003–2021) addressing fuel management, neutron flux calculations, and reactor simulations.

Dr. Rouben’s research interests include:

• Nuclear Engineering: CANDU reactor design and safety analysis
• Computational Physics: Multicell and 3D flux modeling
• Reactor Physics: Fuel reshuffling strategies and time-average models
• Education: Dual-delivery reactor physics teaching methods

His scholarly work highlights advancements in supercritical water-cooled reactors (2013), UNENE knowledge management (2010, 2017), and foundational Hartree-Fock calculations (1976–1984) for nuclear matter and superheavy elements. He has collaborated extensively with the Canadian Nuclear Society and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL).
