Ignacio Guirado

Ignacio Guirado is a researcher at NRGroup since 2022, specializing in advanced nuclear energy systems. His work focuses on thermal-hydraulics, passive safety systems, small modular reactors (SMRs), and molten salt reactor technologies. Collaborations include ANSALDO NUCLEARE and Thales Alenia Space under Italy’s PNRR-funded Industrial PhD programs.

Research emphasizes experimental validation, computational modeling (CFD/system codes), and digital twin frameworks. He co-supervises PhD candidates through initiatives like the 2022–2023 Industrial PhD fellowships, involving 6-month international placements. Current projects include neutronics analysis and multiphysics modeling of noble metal deposition in molten salt fast reactors.
