It also inspired me to look into analytical techniques and instrumentation that I hadn&#8217;t originally considered utilizing in my own research but ended up being helpful.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While completing his internship at LLNL, Murphy shared that he worked at the <a href=\"https:\/\/seaborg.llnl.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glenn T. Seaborg Institute<\/a> with scientist <a href=\"https:\/\/people.llnl.gov\/deblonde1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gauthier Deblonde<\/a>. There, he says he researched the appropriate depths to build nuclear waste repositories, the location where nuclear waste is stored for long-term disposal.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were looking into samples of rock that had been drilled out of a possible future nuclear waste repository location in order to provide insight on if a certain depth might be preferred to build the repository,\u201d Murphy says. \u201cSome minerals in soil are better at holding on to radionuclides, so in a repository, we want to choose a location where \u2018better\u2019 minerals are present that can hold on to the radionuclides if the tanks degrade and release any waste due to aging,\u201d Murphy says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says he applied the skills he learned during his internship to his work here at UCF to further expand his insight on how minerals are affected by organic molecules and waste.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy thesis work looks at a few different uranium minerals relevant to the nuclear fuel cycle,\u201d Murphy explains. \u201cMy primary project so far looks at studtite (a uranyl peroxide mineral known to form in nuclear waste), and how its stability is affected by other organic molecules present in the environment or the waste itself. This work helps understand the various types of uranium present in\u202fnuclear waste, which can aid in the understanding of radionuclide migration in the environment due to tank aging and degradation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murphy says he is also conducting research for his thesis to learn how studtite and other uranium minerals are affected by the introduction of chemicals to nuclear waste management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe goal of this project is to understand how certain chemicals will be trapped in the uranium mineral structure. In terms of forensic purposes, we want to see if we can utilize these extra chemicals as an intentional taggant to act as a sort of \u2018barcode\u2019 that can connect seized illicit material to its source,\u201d Murphy says. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murphy shared his gratitude for the knowledge and support that the PATH Scholarship has brought him, along with the journey it has helped provide to set up his future career.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am extremely grateful for the PATH scholarship; more than just the financial benefit, the scholarship provides an invaluable connection to the NNSA,\u201d Murphy says. \u201cAs part of the scholarship, we have learned more about the mission directorates and available careers at the NNSA and NSE, while also providing a point of contact that can point us in the right direction to pursue these careers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appreciative of the mentorship he has had along the way from UCF and the LLNL, Murphy shared how far it has taken him with his research.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI truly can&#8217;t emphasize enough the mentorship and support that both Dr. Vasileios Anagnostopoulos, Associate Professor of Chemistry, and Dr. Deblonde have given along the way. I wouldn&#8217;t be where I am today without them,\u201d Murphy says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PhD chemistry student, Zachary Murphy, has been recognized for his research at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.\u00a0 By: Emily Dougherty | December 12, 2024\u00a0 Zachary Murphy, a doctoral chemistry student in the College of Sciences, has been awarded the National Nuclear Security Administration Program Award for Technical and Higher-Education (PATH) for his research focusing on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":34131,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3,35,40,13,27,28],"tags":[376,629,6438,2856,6496,6299],"class_list":["post-34130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awards","category-chemistry-departments","category-graduate-student-news","category-news","category-stem","category-top-news","tag-awards-2","tag-chemistry","tag-graduate-student","tag-research","tag-student-success","tag-vasileios-anagnostopoulos"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
