Dr. Jennifer Shusterman

Assistant Professor

Assistant Professor Jennifer Shusterman in the Department of Chemistry does research in the areas of nuclear chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry and radiochemistry.

Profile

Jennifer Shusterman received a BS from Tufts University and a PhD from the University of California, Berkley. She did her postdoc at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. At Hunter College, she teaches courses in radiochemistry and conducts research focused on the investigation of isotope production pathways, materials for heavy metal separations, and radiochemical measurements of nuclear reaction properties for application to the nuclear fuel cycle, medicine, forensics and fundamental nuclear science.

Educational Background

  • Tufts University (BS 2010)
  • University of California, Berkley (PhD 2015)
  • Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Postdoc)

Research

Research Statement

The research in the Shusterman Lab is focused on the investigation of isotope production pathways, materials for heavy metal separations, and radiochemical measurements of nuclear reaction properties for application to the nuclear fuel cycle, medicine, forensics and fundamental nuclear science.
