Laura Matteo

Research Engineer, PhD

Laura Matteo holds an engineering diploma (master's degree) in nuclear energy from Grenoble INP (France), a master's degree in Technics, Science and Decisions from Sciences Po Grenoble (France), and a PhD in energetics from Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers (France). She joined the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) as a thermal-hydraulics research engineer in 2013. She works on the development and the validation of new physical models in the CATHARE thermal-hydraulics system code. She was in charge of the development of a predictive turbomachinery model into the CATHARE code, which was the main subject of her PhD project. She also studied the wall to fluid thermal exchanges with liquid sodium as working fluid in the frame of the ASTRID Sodium Fast Reactor (SFR) project. She currently works on the modeling of the fuel ballooning phenomenon during accidental transients of Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR). She teaches nuclear reactor modeling at INSTN and Grenoble INP.
