Dr. Shuh’s research focuses comprehensively on the science of the f-elements, in particular the actinide elements. He is a world-renowned expert in the development of large-scale synchrotron radiation instrumentation and techniques to explore the fundamental chemistry and physics of f-electron materials. His current interests focus on determining the electronic structure and coordination chemistry of f-electron and novel materials to understand their physical and chemical behavior. His interests, activities, and expertise also include nuclear forensics, nuclear non-proliferation, waste forms, and actinide environmental science. For more than 15 years, Dr. Shuh was the leader and then director of the Molecular Environmental Science (MES) soft X-ray beamline facility at the Advanced Light Source. Dr. Shuh has been a former director and leader of the Glenn T. Seaborg Center and the Heavy Element Chemistry Group at LBNL, respectively.
