Noémi M. Nagy is a professor of radiochemistry in the Imre Lajos Isotope
Laboratory of Physical Chemistry, University of Debrecen, Hungary. She earned her
M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in radiochemistry at that university. She has a D.Sc. degree
in agrochemistry from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Dr Nagy has more than
35 years of experience in nuclear and radiochemistry teaching. Her research interest
is the study of the interfacial processes of natural sorbents, including soils, rocks,
clay minerals mainly by radioactive tracer methods. Recently, she has been dealing
principally with studies of nuclear waste storage. She has written or co-written
numerous peer-reviewed scientific papers and is the co-author four books in the
fields of nuclear and radiochemistry as well as the interfacial chemistry of geological
formations. She won the George Hevesy’s award for nuclear safety in Hungary.
Dr Nagy is the president of the Radiochemical Scientific Committee of Hungarian
Academy of Sciences.
