Simon Day
Adjunct Professor, Engineering Physics

Dr. Day’s background is primarily in Reactor Physics with specialties in Safety Analysis, Operations Support, and Criticality Safety. Since 1998, he has led the Reactor Analysis group at the McMaster Nuclear Reactor.

Current areas of activity include safety analysis methodology development, code benchmarking against experimental data, positron beam-line design & optimization, and various aspects of reactor operations & research. The preferred research approach is to combine experimental and computational/simulation aspects of nuclear reactor analysis, which provides the opportunity for a well-balanced educational and research experience.
