B.D. Ganapol

Departments of Hydrology and Water Resources and Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

University of Arizona


Dr. Ganapol, noted particle transport theorist and engineering educator, received his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1966 and his MS in Nuclear Engineering from Columbia University in 1967. He went on to complete his Ph.D. in 1971 at the University of California at Berkeley in engineering science. Before joining the faculty of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Arizona in 1976, he held positions at the Swiss Federal Institute for Reactor Research, Center for Nuclear Studies at Saclay in France and Argonne National Laboratory. His areas of interest have focused on the development of solutions to the linear Boltzman equation with applications in nuclear reactor physics, electron and charged particle transport and radiative transfer associated with satellite remote sensing. Dr. Ganapol was recently elected Fellow of the American Nuclear Society in recognition of his research and teaching accomplishments.
