Elena Macerata studied nuclear engineering at Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI). In 2008, she earned her doctorate in Radiation Science and Technology on the study of hydrometallurgical processes for the partitioning of minor actinides from spent nuclear fuel. Today, she is a senior researcher in the Radiochemistry and Radiation Chemistry Laboratory of the Department of Energy at POLIMI. Her research work is mainly focused on the development of hydrometallurgical processes for the advanced reprocessing of spent fuel, the study of radiolytic degradation phenomena in different systems and the study of chemical compatibility issues for Generation IV reactors.
