Stephen Mezyk

Dr. Stephen Mezyk is a Professor of Physical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at CSULB with over 30 years of research studying radiation-induced chemistry.  He has over 200 peer-reviewed articles, and has nearly 400 talks and conference presentations given by himself and his research students. His research interests are centered in the measurement of radical kinetics in the condensed phase, notably in the study of radiation-induced ligand degradation for chemicals used in nuclear waste reprocessing.  In addition, he has also worked extensively on the remediation of chemically contaminated waters, especially understanding Advanced Oxidation Process radical chemistry.
