Education

Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary

DSc Reactor Physics ’85

Roland Eötvös University, Budapest, Hungary

PhD Reactor Physics ’75

Research Interests

  • Deterministic and stochastic transport theory of neutral and charged particles, in particular fluctuations in neutron transport and atomic collision cascades;
  • Theory of multiplicity and coincidence measurements in nuclear safeguards; 
  • Theory of space-dependent reactor dynamics, neutron noise and reactor diagnostics, with applications at operating plants and future advanced systems; 
  • Elaboration of inverse methods in neutron noise diagnostics, including machine learning methods

Biography

Pázsit received his PhD at the Lorand Eötvös University, Budapest, Hungary, in 1975, and his DSc from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1985. From 1975 until 1983 he worked at the Central Research Institute for Physics in Budapest. He moved to Sweden in 1983 to a Guest Researcher position at the Swedish national lab Studsvik Energiteknik AB, Nyköping. In 1991 he received the Chair of Reactor Physics at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, where he has been a full professor since then.
