McGregor

Prof. McGregor holds the academic rank of Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Lehman College, City University of New York (CUNY). Their research focuses on radiochemistry, environmental chemistry, and materials science, with a strong emphasis on technetium-99 speciation, reduction strategies, and nuclear waste management. They actively contribute to chemical education through innovative flipped classroom approaches and video-based curricula integration for radiochemistry topics.

Research Interests include:

• Technetium chemistry and its environmental implications
• Photochemical and chemical reduction of radiometals
• Polyoxometalate-based metal oxide mimics
• Proton transfer mechanisms in biopolymers
• Nanomaterials for nuclear waste immobilization

Recent articles highlight advancements in technetium speciation via XAFS, photoreduction using Keggin polyoxometalates, and CdSe cluster stability studies. Their work bridges fundamental science with practical applications in nuclear waste treatment and renewable energy materials.

Prof. McGregor has advised students like Hossam Gamal Elshendid. Their research grants focus on technetium immobilization and educational innovation in chemistry pedagogy. Current lab activities involve designing novel proton-conducting membranes and studying technetium behavior in legacy waste matrices.
