DOE Related Research and Projects
Currently, Valentina works at the Applied Research center (ARC) as a DOE Fellow in the DOE-FIU Science and Technology Workforce Development Program. She has worked on several projects that focus on the remediation efforts of the groundwater at national sites such as Hanford Site in Washington State and Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina. Her currently project aims to replicate the technology implemented at SRS by performing a microcosm experiment which will help in the analysis of mineralogical changes occurring in the soil after the addition of molasses. |
