Profile Jun Nishiyama has been an Associate Professor of the nuclear safety engineering department at Tokyo City University since 2023. His major research specialties are nuclear reactor physics, advanced reactor design, and radiation measurement. After graduating from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2008, he was a postdoctoral researcher charged with the national neutron standard for 3 years at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. From April 2011, immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011, he was an assistant professor teaching reactor physics at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, where he conducted research on innovative reactor systems and taught reactor physics for 12 years.
