In the Radiochemistry department, I am working on developing/optimizing radiometric detection methods. More specifically, my current research is on building an ad-hoc Monte Carlo simulation with the GEANT4 toolkit for high purity Ge (HPGe) detectors and exploring radon remediation in difficult-to-ventilate situations. Other research interests include environmental radiochemistry, nuclear accident response, and remediation. In addition to research, I also enjoy teaching.
Prior to my role in SNRSI, I completed my PhD studies in radiochemistry at the University of Helsinki (thesis titled: Real-time Autoradiography Optimization and its Application in Environmental Radiochemistry). I also had the opportunity to work with the nano-focused X-ray Synchrotron methods (n-XRF, n-XRD) at the Diamond Light Source for studying radioactive Cs-rich microparticles obtained from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Accident.
