Frederick Currell

Frederick Currell serves as the Director of the Dalton Cumbrian Facility and is a global authority on physical and chemical processes in heterogeneous radiation systems, particularly involving water at interfaces. His research combines computational modeling and automated experiments to address challenges in radiation chemistry, including nanomedicine development and ion-beam vaccine manufacturing. Current projects focus on radiation chemistry modeling codes, radiopharmaceutical production, and advanced materials.

Expertise includes Radiation Chemistry, Nanotechnology, and Nuclear Physics, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and energy. Key collaborations span international institutions, and he actively participates in grants peer review for bodies like the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

• Directed over 175 research outputs across journals like Nature Reviews Urology and Physical Review Letters.
• Impacts include supporting the world’s first radiation nano-dose enhancer (NBTXR3) and advancing understanding of hydrogen generation on plutonium surfaces.
• Leads the Dalton Cumbrian Facility and co-leads the Dalton Nuclear Institute’s equipment platforms, focusing on ion-beam technologies.
