Dr. Steven Biegalski earned his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 1996. He joined the faculty of The University of Texas at Austin in 2002. He is affiliated with the Nuclear and Radiation Engineering Program.
Dr. Biegalski researches nuclear instrumentation and neutron radiography, analyzes environmental media using nuclear methods and models environmental pathways. In the past he has worked to develop technology in support of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, an agreement started in 1996 that now has 196 member nations. He developed and installed environmental aerosol and xenon monitoring stations, developed software to analyze data from the radionuclide monitoring systems, and investigated the trends, sources, and origins of man-made radioactive atoms in the environment. Biegalski has also investigated air pollution sources in the Arctic, assessed the toxic metal input into the Great Lakes and worked on global change modeling.
