Cristian Celis-Barros is an experimental and computational radiochemist in the Radiochemical Process Development group in the Radioisotope Science & Technology Division supporting isotope chemical processing and fundamental research. He is contributing to the processing of key isotopes along with fundamental research on later actinides. Recently, Cristian took over the processing of berkelium-249, einsteinium-253/254, and fermium-257. His current fundamental research focuses on redox lanthanide and actinide chemistry as well as understanding the chelation chemistry of actinides for targeted alpha therapy.
