Kate Taylor is a solvent extraction modeller in the chemical and process modelling team at the National Nuclear Laboratory. She joined NNL in 2017 after earning a Masters degree in Physics from the University of Leeds. Her work involves modelling the chemical processes that make reprocessing and recycling possible, and she has worked on the advanced PUREX (Plutonium Uranium Reduction EXtraction) and iSANEX (innovative Selective ActiNide EXtraction) processes. She has also recently begun work exploring the separation of lanthanides for medical applications.
