He finished Faculty of Power Engineering in 2004, Nuclear Power Plants and followed by a Master degree in nuclear engineering. He started working at the University in the same year and also did his PhD in the same period. During 18 years of activity he followed several specialization courses in Research Centers and Universities from Austria, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Romania, South Korea and Slovakia. He is board member of AREN, Romanian Association for promotion of Nuclear Energy. He is involved in various projects funded by the European Commission and Cohesion funds dedicated to Human Resources and communication in the nuclear field. Since 2018 he is responsible in designing and managing E&T projects ad developing the ENEN’s strategy institutions from mainly Europe but with strong connections with international organizations all over the world. He is directly involved in designing, implementing and managing actions aimed at improving nuclear competences and attracting new persons to the nuclear field in eight different projects currently under implementation. He is also managing an organization with more than 80 members from mainly Europe but also with different organizations from all over the world.

Roberta Cirillo has a bachelor in Physics from the University of L’Aquila (Italy) and a double Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering from the Polytechnical University of Catalonia (Spain) and the Polytechnical University of Grenoble (France) with a specialization in material science. She complemented her education with Energy Management and Innovation & Business Creation courses at the Management School of Grenoble. She had a multifaceted career path in which science was always the common thread and required her to live in several European countries. Starting with climate modeling data analysis for the Finnish Meteorological Institute, going on with several years of research in the field of cryogenics in CEA-Grenoble at the beginning, and later at CERN in Geneva. In parallel to her research work, she has always been actively involved in outreach activities, science communication and networking events. In 2019 she definitely shifted her career goals from Research and Technology towards the International Relations sector, focusing on education communication and outreach. Today, Roberta Cirillo works as Project Manager and Communication Officer at ENEN, which stands for European Nuclear Education Network and is the largest network in Europe for Education and Training having its headquarter in Brussels, Belgium. She is responsible for all ENEN Communication channels, manages several EU-funded projects leading the Dissemination and Communication working package and acts coordinator for the TOURR project.

Webinar by Jadwiga Najder and Patricia Schindler

on Friday February 17, 2023 at 15:00

Leaflet Najder Schindler 1

Jadwiga Najder is a nuclear engineer supporting a design of a NPP. As a Youth Community leader, I am also working to boost the participation of young people in the nuclear space. Passionately educating about solutions to climate change, for several years, I prepare youth and NGOs' representatives to represent nuclear at UNFCCC COP conferences. She worked as Nuclear Engineer at Oakridge SAS, France and has been Intern Engineer at CEA, Service d'étude des réacteurs et de mathématiques appliquées, Saclay, France.

Patricia Schindler worked for 35 years at the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). Graduated with a master's degree in engineering (1985), specializing in metallurgy, she spent 5 years in a laboratory of metallurgical expertise, then turned to project management in the nuclear field. She has thus worked with multidisciplinary teams at the national and international level. She began her career in the field of sodium chemistry within FBR (Fast Breeder Reactors), before moving on to study projects concerning the PWR (Pressure Water Reactor) sector. As R&D project manager, she successively led various projects concerning the evolution of chemistry on the primary or secondary side of PWRs. These projects have led her to study, design and monitor the implementation of test facilities, combining the technique of nuclear measurements. These fields involving high temperatures and high pressures, she thus obtained in 2007 the title of expert in ThermoHydraulics in a chemical environment.

She has been actively involved since 2012 in the network “Women in Nuclear (WiN)”, as well as in various regional initiatives to promote gender equality in science and technology in order to also increase the participation of women in the nuclear sector. She joined the WiN Global Steering Committee in 2020 when she became secretary. She currently also acts as vice-president of WiN France, and leader of WiN Europe.

He got his PhD Degree in “Nuclear and Industrial Safety” Course of the “Leonardo da Vinci” Doctoral Engineering School in 2008, discussing the thesis titled “Development and Application of Methodologies for Sensitivity Analysis and Uncertainty Evaluation of the Results of the Best Estimate System Codes applied in Nuclear Technology”.

The methods for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis applied to thermal-hydraulics system codes constitute his main interest as well as the assessment of computer codes and the development of sensitivity and uncertainty methods.

He was involved in several activities connected with safety and licensing process, including the preparation of Chapter 15 of Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) of Atucha-2 NPP (Argentina), Hanhikivi-1 NPP (Finland) , the support to the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) Step-3 and 4 for the HPR-1000; the participation as expert to the Generic Reactor Safety Review (GRSR) service organized by IAEA for several NPP design (more than 10 different NPP).

He is the founder and director of the NINE Multi-Level Training Program which includes several courses organized each year and devoted to Scaling, Uncertainty and 3D COuPled Code Calculation, Models and Methods for Advanced Reactor Safety Analysis, Nuclear Reactor Safety Hand-On Training. He was involved also as expert in the Safety Assessment Education and Training (SAET) Programme of IAEA which has been designed to support IAEA Member States with development of required safety assessment capacity and competency.
