Simone Perotti

Simone Perotti is a Professor specializing in nuclear energy systems for space applications and advanced reactor technologies. His research focuses on molten salt reactors, CFD-based thermal analysis, and nuclear propulsion for lunar/planetary bases. He leads R&D projects at NRGroup since 2022, exploring micro reactors and Gen-IV lead-cooled systems.

• PhD (2013): "The Molten Salt Fast Reactor as a Fast Spectrum Candidate for Thorium Implementation"
• MSc (2009): "COMSOL®-based Thermo-Fluid Dynamics Analysis of Molten Salt Reactors"
• MSc (2014): CFD analysis for Gen-IV Lead-Cooled Reactor design at Ansaldo Nucleare

His career includes roles at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland) and Nooter Eriksen (Italy). He advises MSc and PhD students on reactor safety, numerical modeling, and space nuclear systems.

R&D collaborations emphasize nuclear energy applications for extraterrestrial habitats and propulsion, leveraging Monte Carlo simulations and OpenFOAM tools.
