Congratulations to Ms. Mayuri Razdan, Ph.D. Candidate – Department of Chemistry at Western University, winner of the 2012 Dr. N. Stewart McIntyre Award in Surface Science. Mayuri’s work on the “Critical Role of Surface Science for Corrosion Studies of Uranium dioxide (UO2) Under Nuclear Waste Disposal Conditions” was highly praised by the judging panel. Mayuri has used a variety of surface analysis techniques during her studies including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX).
