Deficiencies in nuclear waste remediation, chemical catalysis, and energy interconversion necessitate that the properties of radioactive compounds and approaches to manipulating catalyst behavior and interfacial microenvironments be better elucidated. Our group addresses these problems by discovering new catalyst species (including radioactive examples), host materials, and structure-reactivity relationships to control reactivity. Students will conduct interdisciplinary work combining nuclear chemistry and energy science and will cultivate expertise in inorganic, radio-, and electrochemistry through hypothesis-driven experimentation.
