PNNL

Norbert Gajos started at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 2015 as a research assistant and is now a scientist supporting the National Security Directorate. He supports various nuclear forensics projects at the laboratory, and he specializes in ultra-trace analysis of actinides, fission products, and stable isotopes in the environment via thermal ionization mass spectrometry.
