Liane Moreau

Prof. Liane Moreau comes to UW from Washington State University, where she led a research group in the area of Nuclear Nanotechnology. In short, her group aims to understand what happens to the structural and electronic properties of the radioactive actinide elements as you make them very small in size, down to the atomic and nanometer length scales. The Moreau group both synthesizes the actinide particles that they study, as well as performs comprehensive characterization on these new systems to understand structure/property relationships. Specifically, they specialize in the use of advanced X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray scattering methods to decipher actinide chemistry over multiple length scales. Prof. Moreau is very excited to continue her independent career at the University of Wyoming and looks forward to growing the program into an internationally renowned center for nuclear research.
