Young dynamic scientific woman, I have professional experiences, that either in industry (AREVA NC La Hague, treatment and recycling of used nuclear fuel site) or in laboratory (UNLV radiochemistry section, working on Technetium and Los Alamos National Laboratory, working on actinium chemistry).
My current interests are focused on developing fundamental concepts that advance use of radio-pharmaceutical anti-cancer agents. As such, my research lies at the intersection of synchrotron spectroscopy, radiochemistry, and inorganic chemistry. In general, I draw from my experiences in studying nuclear fuel cycles, technetium chemistry, and actinium and the other actinide elements to develop creative solutions to technical problems in radio-pharmaceutical chelation.
Chemical and electrochemical studies technetium metal in acidic media • Potentials of dissolution determined by linear voltammetry and Tafel Plot • Dissolution rates of technetium at constant potential applied were obtained by measuring the concentration of technetium in solution by UV-Vis and LSC • Products of corrosion were analyzed in solution by UV-Vis and on the surface of the electrode by EDS and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
