Mark Ogden

Dr. Mark Ogden is a Senior Lecturer in Nuclear Medicine at the School of Computing and Engineering, Bangor University. His research focuses on nuclear waste management, ion exchange technologies, and sustainable resource recovery. He has contributed to projects involving radioactive waste treatment, spent nuclear fuel recycling, and environmental remediation. Dr. Ogden collaborates with international teams on initiatives such as the UK Advanced Fuel Cycle Programme and the molten salt framework for predictive modelling. He actively engages with the community through school outreach programs, including workshops on engineering and nuclear science.

His research interests include nuclear chemistry, materials science, and the development of innovative solutions for radioactive waste encapsulation and resource recovery from industrial waste streams. Dr. Ogden has led or contributed to multiple funded projects, including the Carl Atkinson Studentship and the A molten salt community framework project.

Notable contributions include studies on ion exchange resins for strontium adsorption, uranium recovery, and the encapsulation of radioactive materials in cement matrices. His work emphasizes sustainability in nuclear fuel cycles and minimizing environmental impact through advanced recycling and waste minimization strategies.
