Biography

Dr. Carolyne Burns joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 2005 as a post-doctoral fellow and became a permanent scientist/engineer in 2007. Dr. Burns has a broad background in applied chemistry and colloid science with an emphasis on solid-liquid interfacial chemistry and particle characterization. She is responsible for providing technical support on projects requiring expertise in radiochemical interfacial science and simulant development. Dr. Burns’ primary research at PNNL has concerned the characterization of legacy waste rheology and particle size and the development of non-radiological waste simulants. During her time at PNNL, she has played a key role in optimizing injection solutions for the 100 N Area Sr-90 apatite barrier remediation, managing analytical sampling, planning, and collection at the Pretreatment Engineering Platform, and development of high-level waste simulants supporting design verification of pulse jet mixers and their associated vessels. Prior to joining PNNL, Dr. Burns was a graduate student at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, where she studied heavy metal uptake on carbonaceous substrates.
