Ryan Dempsey

Ryan Dempsey holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry from The University of Manchester, where he is affiliated with the Department of Chemistry as a Researcher. His research focuses on actinide chemistry, environmental chemistry, and solid-state phenomena, particularly investigating radioactive waste management and surface interactions. Dempsey has contributed to studies on actinide-ligand interactions using computational methods and explored uranium retention mechanisms in subsurface environments. His work bridges theoretical chemistry with practical applications in geochemistry and environmental science.

Education:

• Master of Chemistry (2017–2022), The University of Manchester

Research Interests: Dempsey’s studies emphasize actinide electronic structure via X-ray spectroscopy, sulfidation processes, and redox cycling dynamics. His work aims to advance understanding of radioactive material behavior in geological contexts, leveraging computational models and experimental techniques to address environmental and industrial challenges.

Publications: Recent articles highlight computational studies of actinide interactions with Keggin clusters and geochemical investigations of uranium retention in goethite substrates. These contributions reflect his dual focus on theoretical modeling and applied environmental chemistry.
