Experience in chemical conversion of UF6 to uranium dioxide
Experience in injection of UF6 into water to form uranyl fluoride (UO2F2)
Experience in the safe and effective disposal and/or reuse of radioactive wastes from nuclear fuel cycle
that makes nuclear power more efficient and cost-effective.
Research experience in preparation of simulated spent nuclear fuel (SIMFUEL), processing and microstructure characterization of uranium oxide based ceramic for disposal studies on spent AGR fuel, durability studies on ceramic/glass/cement for immobilising nuclear waste, processing of simulant non- oxide fuel for generation IV reactors.
Practical experience in decommissioning and disposing of radioactive waste.
Experiences in designing nuclear components and instruments

• Under CEA supervision, the research project dedicated to electrochemical of material degradation under combined effects of corrosion, wear and irradiation.
• Conducted research on electrochemical degradation, ceramics, and high-temperature materials.

• The research project studied the use of ceramic materials into development of AGR and MOX nuclear fuels, non-oxide and advanced fuels for Generation IV reactors as well as vitreous and glass composite waste forms. I conducted research in accordance with the project aims and led a full PhD research project.
• I led a team to set up a laboratory scale facility able to handle uranium in the manufacture of small sized ceramic/cement/glass samples.
• Key member of a productive and dynamic research team helping with day to day supervision of PhD, MSc and undergraduate students. Coordinate with other universities and industrial partners.
• Presented research findings at national conferences, promoting increased awareness of study results.

• Worked on UF6 conversion, fuel fabrication, safeguards compliance, and reactor systems.
• conversion of UF6 to fuel element and ensuring all relevant nuclear safeguards regarding critical mass of enriched uranium are implanted.
