About

As a graduate student in the EMJMD in Safe and Reliable Nuclear Applications, track in Radioactive Waste Management and Decommissioning, I am actually doing a PhD in Analytical Chemistry/Radiochemistry between Vrije Universitit Brussel (VUB) and SCK CEN. I am looking forward to applying my skills as an R&D engineer in the field of waste management and decommissioning. My background: Nuclear physics, radiation protection, radiochemistry, nuclear fuel cycle, radioactive waste management, programming and nuclear modelling. My interests: Nuclear education, analytical chemistry, radiochemistry, waste characterisation, decommissioning and machine learning (ML).
