Dr. Marcus Altmaier

studied Chemistry at the University of Cologne, Germany, and received the PHD in Radiochemistry in 1999.
from Nov. 2000: works at the Institute for Nuclear Waste Disposal (INE), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), formerly: Karlsruhe Research Center, Germany.
Head of Radiochemistry Division at KIT-INE (2012), Deputy-Director of KIT-INE (2018).

Dr. Altmaier is expert on the (geo)chemical behaviour of radionuclides in the context of nuclear waste disposal. Experimental research activities focus on actinide and fission product chemistry in aqueous media (radionuclide solubility, retention, complex formation). Strong interest in radioanalytical techniques, actinide and fission product chemistry, and the study of radionuclide solubility phenomena and retention in dilute solutions to concentrated salt brine systems. Dr. Altmaier was involved in several national and international projects, ranging from fundamental scientific research on radionuclide chemistry to applied work related to the final disposal of nuclear waste in deep underground facilities. He is author of several peer reviewed publications and presented his work at numerous international scientific workshops and conferences.
