Dr. Clint Sharrad

Biography

Clint Sharrad is a lecturer in Nuclear Decommissioning Engineering and serves as Deputy Director at the Dalton Nuclear Institute at the University of Manchester. His academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Chemistry, followed by a Ph.D. from the University of Queensland, Australia, focusing on actinide chemistry. His professional trajectory includes research fellowships at the University of Manchester, specializing in actinide separations and coordination chemistry, which have paved the way for his current research interests. Sharrad's research primarily investigates the molecular understanding of radionuclide behavior, specifically in the context of the nuclear fuel cycle. This involves developing methods for the reprocessing and disposal of spent nuclear fuel residues and contributing to ongoing efforts in decommissioning nuclear sites. His studies are characterized by significant collaboration with international institutions, leveraging advanced spectroscopic techniques for the characterization of radionuclide species. He has been actively involved in numerous research projects aimed at improving treatment and disposal methods for orphan wastes and undergoing innovative separations processes for actinides and lanthanides. Sharrad welcomes inquiries from prospective postgraduate students interested in these research domains.
