Sheldon Landsberger is a Professor holding the Hayden Head Centennial Professorship in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on the characterization of airborne particles in urban, rural, and remote regions, particularly regarding heavy metal contaminants. He employs statistical models to distinguish trace elements from natural and industrial sources. Additionally, Dr. Landsberger works on characterizing solid waste combustion in industrial processes and has developed experimental modeling methods to study the leaching dynamics of heavy metals in groundwater aquifers. His expertise also includes experimental radioactive waste management and the development of non-destructive elemental analysis using neutron activation methods. Dr. Landsberger possesses a Ph.D. in Radioactive Solid Waste Management and has conducted extensive research in low-level counting, natural radioactivity, Compton suppression gamma-ray spectrometry, and risk assessment related to the handling of radioactivity.
