Biography

Christian Ekberg is a Full Professor at Chalmers University, specializing in Energy Materials and Chemical Engineering. He holds the Stena’s Chair in Industrial Materials Recycling and has previously held the position of Professor in Nuclear Chemistry. His career began with modeling chemical systems, particularly groundwater flows, focusing on uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of chemical models. Over time, his research shifted towards experimental investigations of stability constants and solvent extraction processes. Following his doctoral studies, Ekberg completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). Upon returning to Chalmers, he took on leadership responsibilities in the separation and transmutation research in Nuclear Chemistry. His research interests have broadened to include the development and recyclability of innovative nuclear fuels, and he leads several projects in the realm of Industrial Materials Recycling within the nuclear chemistry field.
