QUALIFICATIONS

As a successful actinide chemist and spectroscopist, I seek an entry-level position as a health physicist. I offer the benefit of several years of research experience with radioactive materials, Class IV lasers, and associated safe practices. My coursework and research interests have led to involvement in several extensive investigations and clean-up projects for radioactive materials. Broad experience in actinide research will translate to a highly effective professional relationship with scientists to meet their experimental needs while offering the highest level of protection from radiological environments and materials.
