Anders Puranen

Anders Puranen is an Adjunct Professor at Chalmers University of Technology's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, focusing on energy and materials research. He concurrently serves as Senior Specialist in the Radiophysics and Development group at AB Svafo, a company managing Swedish nuclear waste decommissioning. His work emphasizes corrosion mechanisms and hydrogen generation in reactive metals under deep geological repository conditions, supported by AB Svafo funding.

Education: PhD in Nuclear Chemistry from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden (2010).

Research expertise includes post-irradiation examination (PIE), spent fuel studies, and loss-of-coolant accident fuel testing, developed during over a decade at Studsvik Nuclear Hot Cell Laboratory. His current projects address nuclear waste management challenges related to legacy research facilities.

No scientific awards explicitly listed. Research supervision and grants are tied to AB Svafo-funded projects on metallic material degradation under repository conditions. Active in cross-organizational collaboration between academia (Chalmers) and industry (AB Svafo).
