Doctoral Student Wants to make Nuclear Energy Renewable12/06/2017

Radiochemistry Ph.D. student Ingrid Lehman-Andino and two of FIUs nuclear chemistry professors are working on a solution. The researchers believe the U.S. could lessen the impact of climate change by producing nuclear power with smaller amounts of reused, short-lived radioactive waste that is less toxic than what is used now.

When research led by one of the doctoral students in his lab recently landed the cover of a top journal in chemistry and toxicology, Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine Professor Barry Rosen likened it to a golfer getting a hole in one. Most researchers go an entire career without a cover, he said. Barry P. Rosen is a Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Fabric Phase Sorptive Extraction (FPSE), developed by Drs. Kabir and Furton, has continued to enjoy worldwide popularity as a new generation, green analytical and bioanalytical sample preparation technique. Today, Separations, a renowned Switzerland based open access journal, has announced to publish a Special Issue of the journal on "ADVANCES IN FABRIC PHASE SORPTIVE EXTRACTION". Dr. Kabir will serve as the Guest Editor of the Specia
