Biography

Dr. Morco is currently a Postdoctoral Associate at Radiation Assisted Materials Performance Science (RAMPS) Group at the University of Western Ontario. His research is on the immobilization of radioactive wastes (ion-exchange resins) using geopolymer and development of radiolysis kinetic model for various conditions (humid air, groundwater and saline water) expected in the deep geologic repository in support of the long-term nuclear waste disposal in Canada. He has a Ph.D. in Analytical/Physical Chemistry with expertise in radiation chemistry and chemical kinetics. M.Sc. degree in Chemistry with a focus on radiation chemistry of room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) and materials corrosion.
