Dr. Ronny Rives is part of the Advanced Nuclear Technologies (ANT). He develops his teaching activities on topics related to energy technologies, participating in several master degrees taught at the Barcelona School of Industrial Engineering (ETSEIB). Since joining the Nuclear Engineering Division of the Department of Physics, he has been actively involved in projects focused on the development of technologies for nuclear fusion such as EUROfusion and FusionCat. Currently, his research is directed toward modeling two-phase gas-liquid metal flows and tritium (and other hydrogen isotopes) permeation in breeding blankets of fusion reactors. His research interests include applied thermodynamics, CFD codes with MHD simulation capabilities, mass and heat transfer, and thermophysical properties of working fluids, for a variety of energy applications.
