معرفی
Jon Petter Omtvedt is a Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Oslo, specializing in nuclear chemistry and hydrometallurgy. He leads the Nuclear Chemistry Research Group and is engaged in teaching courses such as KJM 3900 Radioactivity and KJM 5912 Radiochemistry. His research focuses on chemical studies of super-heavy elements (SHEs), hydrometallurgical innovations, and detector technology development. He collaborates internationally with institutions like RIKEN (Japan), GSI (Germany), and SINTEF (Norway).
Education: PhD in Nuclear Chemistry from the University of Oslo (1995). Active in advancing remote laboratory education through projects like RoboLab.
Research Interests: Super-heavy element synthesis and chemical characterization, hydrometallurgical recovery of metals from waste, nuclear detector systems, and innovation in teaching methodologies. Specializes in liquid-liquid extraction techniques (e.g., SISAK system) for studying SHEs like flerovium (Fl) and hassium (Hs).
Grants & Advising: Leads major projects on SHE chemical investigations and hydrometallurgy. Advises industry partners including Boliden and Glencore on metal recovery technologies. No explicit grant details provided in texts.
Labs & Teams: Head of the Nuclear Chemistry Teaching Section at UiO. Key contributor to the ModulAr Robotic Gas-jet target (MARGE) system and Vacuum to Liquid Transfer Chamber (VLTC) for SHE research.
