Ken Czerwinski

Dr. Ken Czerwinski, Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, specializes in actinide and technetium chemistry. His work bridges fundamental coordination chemistry and applied nuclear science, with projects focused on actinide speciation, nuclear forensics, and waste form development.

Research Interests include:

• Coordination chemistry of radioelements
• Speciation analysis in nuclear fuel cycles
• Development of nuclear waste disposition materials
• Electrochemical studies of actinides and technetium

Scientific Awards:

• 2012: Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences

Key Article Trends span nuclear fuel processing, radioelement coordination, electrochemical methods, and nuclear medicine applications. His group has pioneered studies on ionic liquid applications for actinide recovery and technetium oxide behavior in extreme conditions.
