Barbara Francisco

Barbara Francisco is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Ottawa's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. She has been affiliated with the Actinides Laboratory and the AEL AMS team since 2015, specializing in radiochemistry and radioactive materials research. Her work focuses on trace elements analysis using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS), with contributions to isotope studies in environmental and nuclear contexts.

Education:

• PhD in Chemistry, Federal Fluminense University, Brazil (2013)
• MSc in Chemistry, Federal Fluminense University, Brazil (2009)
• BSc in Chemistry, Federal Fluminense University, Brazil (2006)

Research interests include radiochemistry, radioactive materials, and the application of AMS to environmental and nuclear challenges. Her publications address actinide analysis, isotope determination in environmental samples, and uranium ore characterization. She collaborates with the National André E. Lalonde AMS Facility and the AEL AMS team to advance analytical techniques in these fields.
