Biography
<p style="margin: 0 0 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: medium; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif">Sarah Finkeldei is a chemist by training. Her research is focused on nuclear materials at the front end as well as the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle. She is highly experienced in the fabrication of complex oxide ceramics from fuel forms towards tailor made waste form candidates. She has experience in structural and microstructural characterization of these ceramic materials by state-of-the-art techniques to gain insights into their structure-property relationships. Her PhD studies were dedicated to the synthesis, structural characterization and dissolution kinetics of pyrochlore-type oxides as potential nuclear waste forms. Lately she has been working on the fabrication and characterization of high-performance nuclear fuel candidates.&nbsp;</span></p>
