Dr. Yacine Addad serves as Associate Professor in the Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department at Khalifa University, UAE, and Deputy Director of the Emirates Nuclear Technology Center. With over 150 publications and $8.5 million in secured grants, he specializes in nuclear thermal-hydraulics, small modular reactors, and thermal energy storage for hybrid systems.
- Ph.D. in CFD and Turbulence Modeling (Manchester, 2004)
- M.Sc. in Thermal Power and Fluids Engineering (Manchester, 2000)
- Dip. Eng. in Marine Engineering (Oran, 1996)
Research Focus: His work spans nuclear safety codes validation, molten corium-concrete interaction, and nanoscale surface modification for heat transfer. He leads projects on radionuclide dispersion, accident-tolerant cladding, and experimental thermal-hydraulics facilities.
Recent Article Trends: 2022-2024 publications highlight deep learning for reactor safety, machine learning in condensation modeling, and multi-physics CFD for severe accidents. His work bridges thermal-hydraulic simulations with environmental radiation dispersion and nanomaterials in nuclear applications.
Grants & Collaborations: Funded by FANR, ENEC, UK research councils, and ASPIRE, his projects address UAE nuclear program safety, decarbonization, and international standards through initiatives like OECD-ATLAS-III.
Labs & Teams: Dr. Addad heads the Emirates Nuclear Technology Center's Theme-1 team and oversees experimental thermal-hydraulics facility development at Khalifa University. He mentors Ph.D. candidates in single/two-phase flow and radionuclide transport research.
