Dr. Hilary Emerson
Earth Scientist
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
hilary.emerson@pnnl.gov
Hilary Emerson is an Earth Scientist working in the Fundamental Processes group under the Energy and Environment Directorate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Emerson has experience in fate and remediation of radionuclides, including the actinide elements. She enjoys working on systems spanning from laboratory to field scale. Since joining PNNL in 2019, her work has focused primarily on site characterization studies and development of remediation technologies for radionuclides.
Dr. Jim Szecsody
Environmental Engineer
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
jim.szecsody@pnnl.gov
Jim Szecsody is an Environmental Engineer working in the Fundamental Processes group under the Energy and Environment Directorate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Szecsody’s research includes the development of subsurface remediation technologies and contaminant characterization. This includes laboratory research and model simulation at the batch scale to identify and parameterize reactions and processes, 1-D flow experiments to address process coupling with advection, 2-D laboratory experiments to address the importance of spatial heterogeneities, and field experiments to upscale engineered geochemical remediation methods. Compounds investigated include energetics, chlorinated solvents, and metals/radionuclides.
