Jim E. Morel

Jim E. Morel is a Professor and the Nancy & Ron Stinson Chair in Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M University. He serves as Director of the Center for Large-Scale Scientific Simulations (CLASS) and holds a joint faculty appointment at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Educational Background:

• Ph.D., Nuclear Engineering, University of New Mexico (1979)
• M.S., Nuclear Engineering, Louisiana State University (1974)
• B.S., Mathematics, Louisiana State University (1972)

His research focuses on Discretization and Multilevel Solution Techniques for Deterministic Particle Transport, Hybrid Deterministic/Monte Carlo Methods, and Radiation-Hydrodynamics. He has developed advanced methods for neutron transport, radiation diffusion, and multiphysics simulations.

Recent publications explore topics in deterministic transport discretization, Monte Carlo integration, and radiation-hydrodynamics, with applications to reactor physics, radiative shocks, and inverse radiation problems. His work emphasizes numerical accuracy, parallel computing, and physics-based reduced-order modeling.

Scientific Awards:

• Nancy & Ron Stinson Professorship in Nuclear Engineering
