Personal Statement

Research Associate in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering working on developing novel treatments for carbon-based radioactive wastes.

Our aim is to determine the feasibility of smouldering orphan radioactive waste to produce a waste ash and to capture the radioactive gases emitted, including radiocarbon (¹⁴C). We are investigating methods for gas capture via microbial induced precipitation of carbonate and phosphate minerals. The minerals produced will be considered as an alternative material for radioactive waste encapsulation.
