... His expertise includes treating and disposing of low-level and transuranic waste from nuclear fuel reprocessing and nuclear materials production for national defense, environmental monitoring, and health physics. He conceived and implemented the first integrated program for managing low-level wastes at a major DOE site, resulting in large reductions in waste volume and disposal in engineered facilities—departing from earlier practices of disposal in open trenches.

... Currently he is the principal investigator of four epidemiological research projects, the foremost being a DNA damage study of Navajo communities impacted by past uranium mining practices. From 1983 through 1999 he held several positions for the DOE and EPA uranium mill tailings remedial action (UMTRA)

... She held previous appointments in the department of civil and environmental engineering and in the center for environmental management at Tufts. Her work deals with both the technical and policy challenges of managing hazardous waste: health effects, site assessment and management, waste reduction and treatment, and risk assessment and management with an emphasis on corporate responsibility and decision making.

... She has also directed research on accelerator transmutation of waste, geochemical behavior of raclionuclides, actinide bioassay measurements, nuclear weapons debris analyses, processing of uranium ores, and fundamental actinicle chemistry. She has evaluated how options for treating Hanford tank waste and for accelerator transmutation of wastes would fit with waste acceptance criteria for geological disposal.
