Theophile Bonnet
Biography
Théophile Bonnet is a research associate in Reactor Physics at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. His research centres on Monte Carlo simulations for nuclear reactor modelling and uncertainty quantification in order to improve the safety and reliability of future reactor design. He is also interested in the mathematics of branching processes which can be applied to numerous fields ranging from reactor physics to epidemics, and has an interest in mean field game theory for the modelling of dense crowds.
He works under the multidisciplinary grant Mathrad, whose objective is to bridge the gap between applications of radiation transport/Monte Carlo simulations in reactor/medical physics and the mathematical community. Théophile holds a PhD from University Paris-Saclay, France (2023) and a master degree in Physics of Complex System completed at University Paris-Saclay (2020) following a Bachelor in Fundamental Physics (2018).
