PhD Radiochemistry
Radiochemistry is the discipline dedicated to the study of the chemical and physical properties of radioactive substances. Radiochemists utilize both the radioactive and chemical characteristics of elements and compounds to address technical needs in many areas, including the speciation and behavior of contaminants in the environment, radioactive waste treatment and disposal, and the beneficial uses of radioactive materials throughout the medical profession. The field demands that professionals in this area have a thorough understanding of both the theoretical and applied aspects of radiochemistry that are well founded in basic sciences and mathematics.
The Radiochemistry Ph.D. Program is offered jointly by the Departments of Health Physics and Chemistry and is administered by the UNLV Graduate College.
Dr. Ken Czerwinski is the Program Director.
