Author Information

Dr. Schroeyers is Full Professor at Hasselt University, Belgium. He is the head of the educational management team for nuclear technology and a researcher at the Nuclear Technological Centre (NuTeC) of the Research Institute for Environmental Sciences (CMK). He completed a PhD in Chemistry at KU Leuven in 2005. His research, at the intersection of chemistry, materials science, and nuclear engineering, focuses on developing suitable management options for radiological residues., particularly on methods and protocols for characterization of natural and artificial radionuclides, radiological monitoring, nuclear decommissioning, recycling and immobilization of radiological wastes and residues in cementitious binders and concrete. He was the chair of the COST Action NORM4Building (2014-2017) and is the co-founder of the European NORM Association (2017) and the SHARE (Social Sciences and Humanities in Ionizing Radiation Research) network. He is a member of the central management team for the Belgian Society for Radiation Protection and, in 2017, edited Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials in Construction (Elsevier).
