Research Interests

Tyler Anderson is a nuclear astrophysicist specializing in the use of accelerator mass spectrometry to measure isotopic signatures with applications to study the evolution of the Solar System, stellar burning processes, and planetary science. His research has focused on developing measurement techniques to 1) determine the production of radioisotopes via stellar irradiation and nucleosynthesis, 2) analyze trace amounts of chlorine in astromaterials with a focus on lunar meteorites, and 3) improve management and monitoring of nuclear waste.
