Christopher M Perfetti

Christopher M Perfetti serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of New Mexico, holding leadership roles including Chair of the National Alpha Nu Sigma Honor Society, Chair of the ANS Trinity Local Section, Treasurer of the American Nuclear Society's Reactor Physics Division, and Benchmarks Committee Chair in the Mathematics and Computation Division.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences from the University of Michigan (2012)
• M.S. in Nuclear and Radiological Engineering from the University of Florida (2008)
• B.S. in Nuclear and Radiological Engineering from the University of Florida (2007)

Dr. Perfetti's research focuses on computational nuclear engineering methodologies, with emphasis on Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis, Radiation Transport, Monte Carlo simulations, Criticality Safety, and Reactor Physics. His work develops advanced algorithms for nuclear systems analysis with applications in reactor design, radiation shielding, and radioisotope production, while integrating cybersecurity considerations for nuclear infrastructure.

He leads the Perfetti Research Group, which conducts projects including sensitivity/uncertainty analysis code development and nuclear data evaluation. Prior to UNM, he developed the CE TSUNAMI-3D code at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and served as Sensitivity/Uncertainty Analysis Method Team Lead for the SCALE Code Package.
