A.G. Buchan's research focuses on the application of radiation for disinfection and the development of computational modeling techniques. Buchan has investigated the inactivation rates of airborne human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2 and Coronavirus OC43, using low doses of 222 nm far-UVC radiation. This work includes developing and validating high-fidelity coupled radiation-computational fluid dynamics codes to improve estimates of susceptibility. Additionally, Buchan has contributed to the field of nuclear engineering through the development of reduced-order models for complex equations, such as the multigroup neutron diffusion equation and the Boltzmann transport equation. This includes work on nonlinear interpolation methods for control-rod movement and adaptive models for space-angle discretization. Buchan also developed a tool for gamma ray dose rate calculation and mapping relevant to marine nuclear emergency response scenarios. Buchan holds a h-index of 13 with 38 publications and 443 citations.
