Carsten Lange

Dr. Carsten Lange is a faculty member at the Chair of Hydrogen and Nuclear Energy within the Institute of Process Engineering and Environmental Technology at Technische Universität Dresden. Since 2010, he has led the Reactor Dynamics workgroup and has served as Head of the nuclear training reactor AKR-2 since 2015. His research focuses on nonlinear stability analysis of boiling water reactors (BWR), model order reduction techniques, neutron noise analysis, and non-invasive reactor monitoring.

Dr. Lange earned his PhD in 2009 from Technische Universität Dresden with a dissertation titled Advanced nonlinear stability analysis of boiling water nuclear reactors. He has contributed to projects like GRE@T-PIONEER and international initiatives such as the OECD/NEA Zero Power Reactors Task Force. His work includes experimental reactor physics, nuclear safety, and reactor instrumentation development.

His research spans nuclear reactor stability, neutron imaging, and advanced simulation techniques. Key publications analyze PWR power fluctuations, coupled fuel assembly vibrations, and reduced-order models for online monitoring. Dr. Lange actively mentors students in reactor physics and reactor training assignments.
