Developing low-carbon, safe and sustainable energy technologies is a necessity in light of a rising world population and urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the impact on climate change. I am a physical chemist and materials scientist at the TU Delft working towards the development of a new generation of nuclear reactor technologies that excel in safety and sustainability. Together with my research team of PhDs, Post Docs, master and bachelor students, □ we investigate innovative and ingenious nuclear fuel materials with appealing thermo-physical properties□ we develop new modelling tools to predict fuel physico-chemical properties and performance during reactor operation and accidental scenarios□ we study corrosion chemistry of molten salts towards structural materials in next generation Molten Salt Reactors□ … and many more exciting research fields.My expertise:□ Nuclear fuel materials chemistry □ Experimental and computational thermodynamics□ Oxides and molten saltsMore info:https://www.tudelft.nl/tnw/over-faculteit/afdelingen/radiation-science-technology/research/research-groups/reactor-physics-and-nuclear-materials/people/anna-smith
