Associate Professor
Tomasz Kozlowski is an Associate Professor and Associate Head for Undergraduate Programs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Grainger College of Engineering, Department of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering (NPRE). He holds additional positions as Associate Professor at Poland's National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) and Affiliated Professor in Computational Science and Engineering at UIUC. His research focuses on multi-physics modeling, reactor design/safety, computational methods, and thermal-hydraulics. He has taught courses like NPRE 200 (Mathematics), NPRE 455 (Neutron Transport), and advanced modeling topics. Education: B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from Purdue University (2000–2005), followed by a Docent Habilitation in Nuclear Power Safety from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH, 2011). He has collaborated on a $2M DOE grant for fuel storage solutions and contributed to UIUC's submission for a micro-reactor license application. His work includes advanced reactor design, uncertainty quantification, and computational tools like TRACE and MCNP-ORIGEN. Research emphasizes reactor analysis methods, numerical solver development, and inverse uncertainty quantification. Over 100 publications span topics like TRISO fuel performance, BWR instability, and hydrogen production integration with microreactors. He serves as Associate Editor for Nuclear Technology and actively engages in international benchmarks (e.g., BEAVRS, OECD/NEA).
