Science Lecture Series: Nuclear Nanotechnology: How Going Smaller Can Make Large Impacts in Nuclear Energy

Wednesday, Oct. 14, 7:00 pm – W153. Free. Attend in person or via zoom.

With Liane Moreau, Department of Chemistry, Nuclear Energy Research Center, UW

Abstract:
Dr. Moreau’s group aims to understand what happens to the structural and electronic properties of the radioactive actinide elements as you make them very small in size, down to the atomic and nanometer length scales. The Moreau group both synthesizes the actinide particles that they study, as well as performs comprehensive characterization on these new systems to understand structure/property relationships.

Biosketch:
Dr. Liane Moreau is very excited to continue her independent career at the University of Wyoming and looks forward to growing the program into an internationally-renowned center for nuclear research.
